Drop Winter weight with Smoothies!

Need to drop a few pounds after overdoing it from Halloween right up until
the New Year?
Well, you may want to add a blue-green algae “superfood” to smoothies,
smoothie bowls, bowls of oatmeal or cups of green tea.
The Blue-Green Algae “Superfood:”
Spirulina.

It’s a deep sea toxin magnet that’ll help you sail into Spring with a new and
improved body.

Spirulina works by flushing toxins, the toxins that keep weight on your stomach,
hips, back, legs, face and neck.
It also gets its vibrant color from chlorophyll, a plant pigment that binds to
damaging toxins and ushers them out of your body. Researchers say that adding
more chlorophyll-rich ingredients to your diet slashes toxins stored in fat cells
by 50% in less than 7 days, instantly shrinking fat stores.
And that’s not all, here are two more benefits one can get from Spirulina.
* Eliminate Inflammation-
People are flooding the internet, looking for ways to rid their bodies of inflammation,
and if this is your situation and you want something natural, look no further than
spirulina. This superfood is loaded with a powerful antioxidant (phycocyanin) that collects
and disposes of damaging free radicals before they can cause the cellular inflammation
linked to weight gain, heart disease and diabetes. Take a daily dose of spirulina and you
reduce levels of key inflammatory markers by 30% in less than 4 months.
* No More Allergies-
Spring is less than 8 weeks away and if you want to avoid the sniffling, sneezing and
itching take 1 tsp. of spirulina everyday. The blue-green algae is packed with compounds
(carotenoids) that calm immune cells and reduce the production of allergy-causing
histamines by 35%.

Now that you know a little about spirulina and its ability to help you shed those
extra pounds, here are 3 smoothies (using Spirulina) to get you started on
