Your body often communicates distress through symptoms.
Lackluster skin, constantly getting sick, gut issues, inability to lose weight, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, and intense cravings are all signs that your body may need some additional support.
Your secret wellness weapon to address these symptoms? Green juice.
Adding just one green juice to your daily routine is one of the best things you can do for your overall health and well-being.
Green Juice Benefits and The Power of Chlorophyll
You have heard it since you were a kid... “Eat your veggies,” and you’ve heard it for good reason.
But you rarely hear much about the power of green vegetables, specifically the dark, leafy green veggies.
Dark, leafy green vegetables are remarkable for your health. What makes dark leafy greens so amazing? Their abundant Chlorophyll content.
Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants. And it has been linked to many health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties, anti-aging, anti-obesity, anti-cancer, improvements in digestive health, and alkalizing the blood, and improvements in hormone health, to name a few [1]. It truly is a superfood.
As a holistic nutritionist for over 20 years and also having my own meal-prepping business, I know how difficult it can be to clean, cut, and prepare vegetables on top of the many other things we have going on in our lives. I wanted to make the amazing benefits of chlorophyll readily available for our customers—and that’s where The Green Routine® was born, an assortment loaded with nutrient-filled green vegetable juices and smoothies.
Get in Green Leafy Vegetables With Ease
Get The Glow
Contrary to popular belief, clear skin starts on the inside. You can use every topical formula and serum known to man, but without a healthy diet you will never be able to naturally “get the glow.”
Drinking green juice daily floods your system with essential nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E. These vitamins work with your body to fight acne and can help promote cell growth and regeneration.
Fruits and vegetables also contain many antioxidants, which protect you from free radicals and help slow the aging process.
Not to mention, green juices are a great source of hydration. Staying hydrated should be an integral part of any skincare routine.
Give Your Immune System A Boost
Getting enough sleep and taking extra vitamin C are no-brainers when it comes to immunity, but there is likely something missing from your wellness arsenal, and that’s dark, leafy greens.
A strong immune system begins with a healthy gut. This is because 70% of your immune system is located in your gut [2].
Drinking green juice daily, you’re helping immune cells in your gut to be strong and resilient.
Greens and Your Gut Health
If you struggle with bloating, poor digestion, irregularity, gas, or any other common gut issues, greens are a powerful addition you can add to your diet.
I know dark greens are not the most appealing food out there. They also require a lot of prepping and chewing to be properly broken down in your digestive tract. This is where delicious green juices and smoothies come into play.
The Green Routine® has four flavors: Citrus Mint, Lemony Greens, Apple Celery, and Tarte Greens, all sweetened with yacon root, a South American root vegetable that contains probiotics, which are boost good bacteria in your gut.
Since our green juice recipes and smoothies are being blended or juiced, the dark greens are in a pre-digested form that is super easy for your body to absorb and use, full of raw enzymes that work to restore your gut. This is where the magic happens in your digestive system.
Shed Pounds With Greens
One of the many benefits of green juice is weight loss support.
It may sound crazy, but drinking just one green juice on an empty stomach daily can change the trajectory of your weight loss goals for good.
Cravings can be intense and, at times, hard to control. The chlorophyll in dark leafy greens is proven to eliminate cravings for unhealthy foods, which is one of the main reasons people fall off the health bandwagon and fall off hard.
When you’re consistent with your daily green intake, one of those green juice benefits is you will notice your cravings for unhealthy foods becoming less and less. That’s because, over time, this liquid green gold helps reset your stomach acid so you can absorb nutrients properly.
And for the record, that means less belly bloat, too. It’s a win-win!
Boost Energy Levels Naturally.
Stop reaching for energy shots or caffeinated beverages if you're feeling sluggish.
Fresh juice of any kind (green juice included) will naturally give you the energy you need without the use of harmful ingredients.
Store-bought energy drinks often contain stimulants, added refined sugars, natural flavors, preservatives, and additives. These ingredients have no nutritional value and often cause you to “crash” due to their lack of nutrients and high sugar content.
Raw Generation’s juices and smoothies are made with really good ingredients that are really good for you. Each one of our products is crafted with 100% real natural fruit sugars, which metabolize in the body much differently than the refined added sugars found in sugary energy drinks.
Say goodbye to blood sugar spikes and crashes when you indulge in a balanced diet of whole foods, like fruits and veggies.
Find Balance
This one is for my ladies (sorry, guys). A deficiency in greens can often look a lot like hormonal imbalance or PMS: breakouts, poor sleep, bloating, anxiety, intense cravings...We’ve all been there.
Aside from keeping stress levels low and getting enough sleep, dark greens, especially when juiced, are filled with vitamins and minerals, like b vitamins and magnesium, that are essential for hormone support [3].
Give your body a little extra TLC when you drink your greens daily.
Detox From Life’s Daily Stressors
Modern living can be harsh on our bodies. We are constantly exposed to daily stressors and environmental toxins from pollution, food, and our products.
Green veggies offer us the opportunity to naturally detoxify from modern living. These ingredients work with your body’s natural detoxification processes instead of “forcing toxins out,” as many harsh regimens do.
Kale, one of the ingredients in the Green Routine® pack, naturally detoxifies the body due to its isothiocyanate content (ITCs). ITCs are a natural compound found in kale that promotes detox on a cellular level by removing free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, disease, and premature aging [3].
Spinach, another ingredient found in the Green Routine® pack, contains phytonutrients. Phytonutrients present in spinach help to naturally detox and support your liver. Spinach can also reduce inflammation, which promotes digestive health. Often, inflammation in the body shows up as poor gut health [4].
Consistency Is Key
Consistency is key. It may sound cliche, but it’s true. And it’s especially true when it comes to green juices and smoothies.
For the best results, getting in greens every day is what can make a real impact on your health results.
We’ve done the messy and time-consuming part for you; all you have to do is thaw, sip, and experience the benefits.
