This smoothie is packed with super foods & most importantly lots of healthy greens! Mango &  peaches add a delicious twist.  

This smoothie features two different super-foods you can use for an added health boost! 

Spirulina:  Did you know spirulina is actually the algae you find on top of a pond, and that it was eaten by our ancestors?  Spirulina is an incredible source of protein, and its green color is created by a compound called phycocyanin that is believed to provide strong anti-oxidant properties.  You can buy Spirulina at most health food stores and online.
