A few benefits of these fruits and veggies
Watercress:
Watercress has been said to lower blood pressure and increase the body’s natural cancer prevention. This succulent green also assists in treating diabetes.
Keep these awesome Watercress benefits in mind when enjoying your delicious smoothie!
Cabbage:
Cabbage is sure a ‘head’ of the completion!
Filled with vitamins and minerals, this leaf-ball helps fight off cancer, may lower cholesterol, and taste scrumptious in smoothies!
*Always consult with your physician and/or nutritionist when modifying your diet.
