Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots….of green juice. These green juice shots are essentially concentrated shots of nutritious leafy greens, vegetables, and fruits. Despite what you may think, they do not taste like your lawn. Yes, they contain kale, spinach, and celery, but the apples, ginger, and limes impart a zesty flavor with notes of spice and sweetness. Think of these shots as miniature elixirs that help boost energy and immune function! Allow us to highlight some of the benefits of drinking green juice shots below:
- Supports immune function: the high levels of vitamins C & E, in addition to antioxidants and minerals, work to enhance immune function. Both the spinach and kale contain high levels of vitamins C & K, folate, and beta-carotene, all of which help the body fight infections.
- Promotes healthy skin and hair: The abundance of antioxidant compounds in the green juice shots may help nourish and protect skin and hair. This works to enhance appearance and vitality.
- May reduce inflammation: The anti-inflammatory compounds present in kale, ginger, limes, and spinach may aid inflammation reduction. By reducing inflammatory markers in the body, you can help reduce the risk of developing arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Supports digestive health: Containing prebiotic fibers, these green juice shots help feed the beneficial probiotic fibers in the gut. By enhancing the amount of healthy bacteria, you can improve gut microbiome and improve digestive health.
