Don’t Forget the Herbs

{!firstname_fix} 
 
Today is the last day of the series about adding more nutrients to your juice and 
smoothies. Today, we are going to talk about the benefits of herbs. Along with spices, 
there are a wide variety of herbs that will not only add some delicious flavor to your 
smoothies and juices, but also boost the health and nutritional benefits. Perhaps one of 
the very best herbs for both smoothies and juices is mint. 

Not only is mint beneficial for a wide variety of health issues ranging from indigestion to 
nausea to headaches, but it is also beneficial in the treatment of asthma and other 
respiratory disorders. 

Mint is also a natural stimulant that can provide a quick pick-me-up and can even help 
combat depression. Mint makes a delicious counterpoint to a wide variety of fruit juices, 
and can be used to make strawberry-mint lemonade or even cucumber-mint or 
watermelon-mint juice. 

Once you've made your juice, you can also use it as a base for a delicious smoothie. 
Some other herbs that make a delicious addition to juices and smoothies are ginseng, 
lavender or sweet basil. Herbs like parsley, basil and oregano are delicious in tomato 
juice and you can even use your freshly made tomato juice to make a delicious bloody 
Mary.

Get creative! Mix and match with different herbs, spices, fruits, and veggies for the most 
delicious and nutrient-dense juice or smoothie you can come up with.
