This go-to green smoothie contains all my favourite ingredients and is great for digestion and increasing your energy. This is because it contains my organic Healthy Chef Green Smoothie blend, which is formulated with over 17 leafy greens, antioxidants and superfoods, plus probiotics.
The fibre in this smoothie helps to promote gut function and peristalsis. A diet high in fibre has been shown to help regulate blood sugars, reduce cholesterol and promote satiety, which is great for maintaining your energy levels and a healthy weight. Lemon stimulates the release of bile and digestive enzymes to help cleanse the body.
The addition of matcha in the Healthy Chef Green Smoothie blend helps to stimulate immune function, promotes healthy bowel function and boosts metabolism. We use the finest grade of organic matcha that is pure and rich in antioxidants, and also contains high levels of L-theanine, a unique blend of amino acids that help to reduce stress and anxiety.
