<\/p>\nSpring has finally popped up on the calendar, and it\u2019s time to think about Spring \u201ccleaning\u201d a few pounds of that \u201cWinter weight\u201d, or perhaps just rejuvenating a healthy glow. The following recipe is a delicious embellishment of Dr. Ann Wigmore\u2019s \u201cEnergy Soup\u201d, which has been used as a nutrient-rich, detoxifying agent since the 60\u2019s. This easily digested \u201csalad-in-a-blender\u201d is filled with fiber, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phyto-chemicals, essential fatty acids and protein. The leafy greens provide your cells with a blast of chlorophyll, oxygen, and are a great source of bio-available calcium.
