5 Natural Energy Boosting Techniques to Sustain Your Work

2. Green Drinks: The Energy Elixir
I’m a devoted follower of the Green Drink brigade. A green drink can boost your energy 10 times more than caffeine. I’ve just experimented with it and it’s true. Every morning I get up and make my blended smoothie with kale and spinach. I add Organic Barley Juice Powder, which I get from Sunburst Superfoods (their website offers other organic powders), fruit (especially high in antioxidants), flaxseed or hemp seeds, alkaline water (coconut water or juice). I’m partial to the smoothie as opposed to the juice because it’s higher in fiber. Green drinks can be fun and creative. There are many recipes and a great variety of choices. Did you know that chopping can be a meditative experience? Green is also an anti-aging elixir, rich in vitamins and minerals, and it even boosts your immune system. Gaiam Life recommends a green drink a day, and, according to teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore, nutritionist and holistic health practioner, “consuming chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion.”
