Have you heard of an algae-based superfood called chlorella? It's been studied for its ability to help build your immune system, make you look and feel younger, and even aid in detoxifying your body from heavy metals. If you're looking for a tasty way to try adding in this superfood, then check out this delicious smoothie-shake concoction that I put together.
And, since we've officially entered the "holiday season," I thought I'd make it a little festive for you and served it in a wine glass. Cheers!
