Green drinks stop acid reflux & saturate your body with nutrients & oxygen
Have you seen the movie Batman Begins? As Batman wakes up one morning, Alfred, his trusty valet, brings him a glass with some green liquid in it. It doesn't look very appetizing, but he drinks it right down. In The Thomas Crown Affair, Rene Russo drinks a thick malt-like drink of some green stuff, which appears to barely get down her throat. What are these people drinking? Green drinks, of course!
What you get in a green drink
"Green drink" is a generic term for drinks made of dehydrated vegetables, fruits, grains, algae, sprouts and/or grasses. Some green drinks are made only of grasses, e.g., wheat grass, barley grass or lemon grass, while others add probiotics (beneficial bacteria). A few add bee pollen, herbs and a full range of vitamins and minerals. They're mixed with a liquid, usually water. I've been drinking green drinks since 2005. Besides being an excellent source of nutrients, green drinks also contain a significant amount of fiber. Most importantly, green drinks are rich in chlorophyll. More about that in a moment.
Make sure your green drink is either unsweetened or sweetened only with stevia, a natural sweetener. You don't want to counteract the benefits of green drinks by adding more sugar or artificial (chemical) sweeteners.
Fight acid reflux & GERD while enriching your blood with oxygen
If you select a green drink that is made of only alkaline vegetables, grasses, herbs, sprouts and leaves, you will help your body quickly de-acidify. Drinking several of these alkalizing drinks every day helps keep your body in an alkaline state and prevents acid reflux and other digestive disorders.
Green drinks are loaded with chlorophyll, which is where they get their color. According to Dr. Robert Young, author of The pH Miracle for Weight Loss, "chlorophyll helps your blood deliver oxygen throughout the body, making stronger blood and thus stronger cells."
Your blood not only delivers red and white blood cells to your tissues, organs and muscles, but it also delivers nutrients and oxygen. While you already know that you can't live without oxygen, did you know that it also prevents physical deterioration? During the worldwide polio epidemic in the 1940s, polio victims were somtimes placed in iron lungs, which forced oxygen into the body's cells. That was the only sure way to prevent further damage from the disease. Some people lived the rest of their lives - decades! - in an iron lung, because they couldn't get enough oxygen transported to their cells without it.
How to pick the right green drink
I'm going to recommend only two green drink brands. I've tried a number of them but most taste so awful that I can't recommend them. Others require very large doses to get the same nutrients and benefits of the two recommended below.
Super Greens is sold by Innerlight.org. It was formulated by Dr. Robert Young and his wife Shelley Young and is promoted in their pH Miracle books. I haven't used Super Greens because it is quite expensive, although I feel it is clearly superior to anything else on the market. Click on Super Greens to order it.
I use Green Vibrance (linked below). It has some ingredients not recommended by the Youngs, but it has worked very well for our family and has wonderful alkalizing properties.

Celeste,
The green drink in the Thomas Crown Affair was most likely an Odwalla smoothie.
