The special ingredients in this smoothie are basil and spirulina. Basil contains loads of flavonoids, which protect you at the cellular level, as well as volatile oils, which have anti-bacterial properties. Spirulina is a green-blue algae and is the beta-carotene richest food. Beta-carotene is an important antioxidant and is suggested to be an anti-cancer food. Plus Spirulina is a very good protein source, with 60% of its dry weight being protein.

Basil and spirulina are balanced in this smoothie with fresh juicy oranges and creamy almond milk. Thus, this smoothie is a real healthy protein bomb. This is a great green smoothie to start the day with as it is fresh, nourishing, sweet and tart. Get your greens on :)
