For a longer lasting, energy booster try Platinum Healing’s Green Juice and Smoothie.

Instead of grabbing that double espresso first thing or reaching for a latte to keep you awake all afternoon, why not actively rehydrate your body instead with a nutrient-rich, energy-boosting green juice or smoothie?

Juicing vegetables high in iron and B vitamins such as carrot, beetroot, spinach, rocket and broccoli will not only increase energy levels but also ensure that your body is in a tip-top shape at the start of each day and good to go all afternoon. Try blending avocado into your existing green juice, which will not only make it deliciously creamy, but the additional fibre, protein and ‘good’ fat content will ensure your blood sugar levels are balanced so you’ll stay fuller for longer.

Whilst you’re in the kitchen, how about adding some cayenne pepper or turmeric root to your juice or smoothie to warm your digestive system and assist phase I and II liver detoxification.  You’ll also feel mentally brighter (cayenne increases cerebral circulation) and notice less joint pain (turmeric is a well-documented anti-inflammatory).
