Feed your Mitochondria!
If you haven’t read my tab on mitochondrial health yet then you might be confused about why I would dedicate a smoothie to one little tiny part of your cell.
Well, spoiler alert. They run everything! Every single cell and organ in your body uses mitochondria to work, and if you they aren’t working then you don’t have energy!
For this reason I like to do whatever I can to fuel these little guys, with and without supplements, and I want to share that with you here today.
