Juicing is good for Better Health and Skin
Here at Montauk Juice Factory we love the ocean. Like a lot. We love looking at it, we love swimming in it, we love getting our butts kicked by it, and we even love DRINKING it. Yes, we know this may sound weird, but adding sea vegetables to your smoothies is one of the best ways to incorporate all-important minerals, trace minerals and clean protein into your diet. There are a multitude of wildly fantastic health benefits from being around the ocean and in the ocean, and consuming some of the sea minerals and vegetables that live in the deep blue. For instance, kelp and dulse have insanely high amounts of magnesium, potassium, folate, vitamin K, calcium and iron, as well as protein. They are rich in iodine which is crucial for a healthy metabolism and thyroid function. You can find kelp and dulse flakes in powdered form so you can easily add a scoop to your green smoothie. They do tend to have a salty or "oceany" taste but work well in a green drink or a fruit smoothie. One or two
teaspoons won’t negatively impact the taste but will add a boost that can lead to a more balanced diet, increased energy and brighter skin. Here are two fantastic options to incorporate into your daily routine: Glowing Green Juice
