Morning Detox: Lighten Up with Nanogreens

If you're feeling a bit lethargic, having difficulty concentrating, and have an overall 'heavy' sensation in your body and your mind, a morning detox is the sure-fire way to lighten up. Even just one simple morning detox-flush can do wonders for digestion & elimination, and feed your body the nutrient-rich foods it's most likely craving. Nanogreens vegetable & fruit superfood contains the top 10 food for detoxifying your body through healthy, plant-based nutrition. No need for a fast.. nature provides everything the body needs to naturally cleanse and rid the body of harmful toxins that weigh you down. Below are 10 detoxifying superstars, all found in a single scoop of  Nanogreens superfood:


1.Beets

Beets are awesome. They are full of nutrients and are a great source of vitamins B3, B6 and C, plus beta-carotene, magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron. They assist our liver and gall bladder in breaking down toxins, and their fiber is great for digestion and elimination. 

2. Lemons 

Lemons jump-start digestion by stimulating the release of enzymes and Vitamin C helps convert toxins into a water-soluble form that can be easily eliminated from the body. Lemons also help stimulate the liver and purify our blood.

3. Apples

Apples give our bodies lots of fiber and nutrients and help stimulate bile production, which the liver uses to release toxins. The soluble fiber in apples, pectin, is helpful in removing heavy metals and food additives from our bodies. Be sure to eat only organic apples, as conventional apples are some of the most heavily-sprayed foods around.

4. Leafy Greens

What we want from green veggies is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll rids the body of environmental toxins, heavy metals, herbicides, and pesticides. Aiding in detox, increasing oxygen content, and purifying the blood, greens are the essential building blocks of any healthy and vibrant diet. Nanogreens includes the nutrient-dense plant protein Spirulina, which contains a powerful blend of vitamins and minerals that boost energy, remove toxins and could even ward off serious health problems like cancer. 

5. Sea Greens

Sea veggies have antioxidants that help alkalize the blood and strengthen our digestive tract. The alginic acid in sea veggies absorb toxins from this digestive tract. They also have the broadest range of minerals you can find in any food! 

6. Broccoli

Broccoli contains important phytochemicals that aid in the detox processs. These phytochemicals stimulate detoxification enzymes in the digestive tract. They, too are extremely high in antioxidants!

7. Green Tea

Speaking of, you should all know by now that green tea is a great big source of antioxidants, one of which are catechins. Catechins increase liver function, which we want. Plus, drinking green tea aids us in hydrating our bodies. 

8. Artichokes

Artichokes increase bile production and both purify and protect the liver. They also have a mild diuretic effect on the kidneys, which aides in toxin removal once the liver breaks them down. Some studies have shown that artichokes may actually regenerate liver tissues (It is seriously all about the liver!). They are also super duper high in fiber, which, as we know, helps us with elimination. 

9. Parsley

Parsley is extremely rich in a wide number of nutrients, chlorophyll, and carotenes. It has been used for treating urinary tract infections, kidney stones, various gastrointestinal disorders, osteoarthritis, and anemia, among other conditions.

10. Cabbage

The king of the cruciferous vegetables, cabbage is full of fiber, which is good for our digestion and helps feed our gut bacteria. They are also celebrated for their anticancer benefits, as they contain more phytochemicals with anticancer properties than any other vegetable. These phytochemicals both increase the antioxidant defense mechanism in the body and help with detoxification of chemicals and hormones. 

So the only question is: If you can get all of these amazing detoxifying foods from one single source, feel lighter, healthier and more vibrant.. why wouldn't you? The Nanogreens superfood solution starts here www.nanogreens.com.

Reds vs. Greens: What's the Difference?

We get asked this question a lot, so what is the difference between Nanogreens and Nanoreds? 

Here’ what you need to know:

Reds or Greens

Both Nanogreens and Nanoreds are a superfood savior! While Nanogreens concentrates on more antioxidant -rich leafy greens including kale, spinach and parsley, Nanoreds contains more antioxidant-rich fruits like pomegranate, cranberry and black current. They are both high in antioxidants and include a combination of fruits and vegetables, but Nanoreds features the high-quality ingredient WellBerry.

What’s WellBerry?

WellBerry is a combination of the superfruit extract Amla (aka Gooseberry) and vitamin C. WellBerry promotes healthy immune function, is anti-inflammatory, and has amazing anti-aging benefits because of its high levels of resveratrol.

How much Resveratrol is in Nanoreds?

You’ve probably heard the benefits of drinking a glass of red wine for anti-aging, so you’ll appreciate this! There is 100 mg of whole grape extract providing 5% resveratrol per serving of Nanoreds, which is the equivalent to 22 glasses of wine (without the side effects of course)! Free radicals cause the oxidation process in our bodies, which leads to cell damage. The super hero in this fight are antioxidants who work to either prevent the chain reaction or stop it after it’s started. For woman over the age of 30, Nanoreds is a superfood, anti-aging superhero!

We recommend taking Nanogreens AND Nanoreds every day for the best health benefits. There's no competition here, just a whole lot of Nanolove! It’s time to shake your nanos!

Overnight Oats: Orange, Vanilla & Coconut

Overnight oats have become a staple for our family. With 6 people in it, a typical morning looks something like this: lunches need to be packed, teeth need to be brushed, field trip forms need to be filled out, knots need to be taken out of shoelaces.. and so on and so forth. The kids (and my husband) tend to reach for a bowl of cereal because we don't have time to make an elaborate breakfast, and it's the easiest way to go. I started keeping oats in the refrigerator because I love the idea of my family eating non-processed foods, and they are so easy to make the night before.. so. easy. Who doesn't love the sound of that?!

This recipe is a delicious combination of creamy vanilla, fresh orange zest, almonds and coconut. I decided to sweeten them the next morning by adding cacao nibs & raspberries, but you can top your oats with any of your favorite fruits & superfoods! And because my kids don't get nearly enough healthy, immunity building protein, I added a scoop of my Nanopro vanilla, which added tons of flavor too.

Overnight Oats:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free oats
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop Nanopro Vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 tsp ground cinnimon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• zest of 1 small orange or clementine

Directions:

1. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl or jar and leave in the fridge overnight.
2. In the morning, remove from the fridge and place in bowls. This recipe serves 4 small bowls.
3. Top with your favorite fruit and/or superfoods. 
4. Oats will keep for up to 3 days.


Enjoy!

If You Like Pina Coladas.. Try our Nanomega Smoothie!

Warning: May cause extreme happiness!
Did you know essential fatty acids are the most important supplement you can take? Our brains need good fats to be healthy.. and of all of our body parts, our brain is most in need of high-quality fats. In fact, the brain is made up of 60% fat, mostly an Omega-3 fat called DHA. Its job is to support cellular communication and when we have what we need, it produces happiness while increasing learning and memory skills. If our brains are deficient in Omega-3’s we can experience depression, anxiety and bi-polar disorder. Not surprisingly, Americans are deficient in Omega-3’s. Some reports indicate that 95% of us lack enough Omega-3’s to support our brains!

Superfood Spotlight: Matcha

Matcha is one of the top must-have superfoods because it is simply amazing! Matcha is a type of green tea that originated in Japan, where it is still used as a traditional daily practice. It isn’t your average cup of green tea though. Matcha is especially rich in chlorophyll since it never goes through heat during processing. It’s made from the same plant as green tea, but is treated in a different way. It has a buttery, slightly earthy, mildly sweet taste that is incredibly soothing.

Matcha is an antioxidant powerhouse, energy booster & stress reducer. It boosts metabolism, detoxifies, increases endurance, improves memory, & aids in lowering cholesterol.

Try this SUPER amazing Superfood smoothie & get to know Matcha if you haven't already!

The Green Matcha Monster:

1 cup spinach
1 tbsp. matcha powder
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup chopped kiwi
1 cup almond milk
1 scoop Nanogreens (green apple flavor)
Ice for blending

Our smoothie is topped with chia & hemp seeds for an added Superfood boost!

Cheers!
