i know it's hard to believe some people don't like vegetables some people don't get enough vegetables and they want to find ways to enhance their diet and there's one smoothie that i'm going to recommend okay this vegetable substitute is a green product for sure but it's not plant-based okay so let's see if you can guess what it is okay nasa did major research on this green and they said this the nutritional value of thousand kilograms of fruits and vegetables equals one kilogram of fill in the blank can you guess this green actually has vitamin b12
in fact it has all the b vitamins it's a really good iron source it's loaded with vitamin e and a pre vitamin a beta carotene 55 to 70 protein okay and 18 essential fatty acid and this is what it is spirulina now what is spirulina well it's a blue green algae it's a bacteria that can convert sunlight to chemical energy it is 10 times more efficient in producing photosynthesis than plants and photosynthesis is the conversion of sun energy to chemical energy so it is definitely right up there as a super food they also use it
to help with radiation sickness people take it to increase energy and spirulina is one of the first organisms to actually make oxygen now if you're going to get spirulina make sure it doesn't have added maltodextrin and there's no added soy now of course i am not biased of my own spirulina product but i will put a link down below for you to check it out but out of all the green things you can take that are not vegetable spirulina is a really good alternative all you do is you add one scoop with a half a
cup of berries i recommend blueberries and 16 ounces of water blend it up and drink it down now this spirulina drink is an enhancement to your diet i still do recommend that you get enough leafy greens like salads as a normal part of your diet and if you haven't seen my video on the quantity of salad that i recommend you eat i put that up right here check it out you
