Green Drink

If you were to stop by for an early morning visit at our house, you would most likely be served a green drink. It is how we start our day. We have discovered that a morning green drink makes a difference in how we feel and function through the day. This is especially important if you do not get enough green veggies in your regular diet. Give it a try and see if it does not give you a boost as well.
