Thinking about the content of my shakes...

I'm thinking about the contents and benefits of my breakfast shakes. I've got about 6 variations that I'd like to try in the near future... All of them consist of the same base:

Kale / Spinach (good for your blood, lymph system, and pancreas)
Quinoa (good for your intestines)
Greek Yogurt (also good for your intestines)
Banana (good for your blood and intestines)

Added to this base is what changes the flavor to create the 6 variations...

Lemon juice (good for your gallbladder and liver)
Blueberries (good for your kidneys)

Sweet potato (good for your gallbladder)
Flax (good for your kidneys and liver)
Cinnamon (for flavor - but also good a good anti-inflammatory)

Strawberry (good for your kidneys)
Apple (good for your gallbladder and kidneys)
Flax (good for your kidneys and liver)

Lemon juice (good for your gallbladder and liver)

Ginger (good for your blood)

Citrus fruit (good for your liver)
