Green Power!

Leaf based juices can seem a little, well, gross. Especially for those of us who refused to eat our sprouts as children. But this big, green machine of a juice tastes fresh and it’s full of one crucial ingredient…Chlorophyll.

You might have thought Chlorophyll was only good for plants, but it’s an amazing substance which maximises the oxygenation of our blood. The more oxygenated we are, the more physical energy and brain power we have, so what are you waiting for? Go green!
