LEER EN ESPAÑOL

In Florida, it’s impossible not to taste the delicious typical local oranges. Having breakfast with orange juice can have many health benefits, this is why today I give a twist to the typical accompaniment to our breakfasts with this completely energizing and delicious drink.

Have you ever tried the orange juice and alfalfa? The combination is a flavor explosion as it is sweet with a citric kick from the orange, all in a very natural detox juice.

And the best are all benefits we can draw from the ingredients in this recipe. An orange contains large amounts of vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, beta carotene, folic acid, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and zinc; which makes it very good for combating cardiovascular disease, inflammation, protect our heart and immune system. It also contains fiber, which has been in the white rind of the orange, which improves our intestinal transit and gives a feeling of satiety. Great for dieters! Furthermore, alfalfa is essential amino acids, antioxidants, many vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, K and P; and some minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium. It is known that alfalfa is a vegetable protein, and contain chlorophyll and dietary fiber.
