In addition to being a great weight maintenance snack, this powerful smoothie packs some great nutritional benefits due to the raw ingredients, such as the carrots, beets, dates and sunflower seeds.
The micronutrients in this smoothie are good for anyone seeking to maintain their health, but are particularly helpful for individuals that are battling cancer.
