Smoothie Review

I went to Natural Thirst last week with a friend for lunch. Natural Thirst is another juice bar I go to located downtown, next to the library. I normally get a juice-drink and a wheat grass shot, but since I was going for lunch, I decided to try one of their meal replacement smoothies. I got the Avocado Alvanche: avocado, spinach, watercress, apple, and banana. Yum, right? lol My friend got the Mangomatic: mango, strawberry, and pineapple. My smoothie didn't really taste like much. It was even a little blah, but that's probably better than it tasting like vegetables, so I'm not complaining. Flax seed was also added to the drinks. I bought the large, but I will admit that I was still hungry. Below are the benefits our smoothies provided our bodies. I'll periodically post juice and smoothie reviews with nutritional benefits like below:

• Avocado - battles diabetes, lowers cholesterol, helps stops strokes, controls blood pressure, smoothies skin
• Spinach - anti-cancer properties (specifically prostate), controls blood pressure, protects eyes from cataracts, strengthens immune system, strengthens bones, healthy nervous system

• Flax seed - reduces your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. weight-loss
