Method
- 1. Initial Seed Blend: Prevents gritty texture. Add the pomegranate seeds and pomegranate juice into the blender. Blend on high until the seeds are finely broken down.2. Add Nitric Oxide & Anti-Inflammatory Base: Add the fresh beets, beet greens, beet juice, turmeric paste, fresh arugula, flaxseeds, and watermelon (with white rind) to the blender.3. Second Blend Phase: Blend all added ingredients together until completely smooth and unified.4. Incorporate Broccoli Sprouts: Temperature protection. Add the broccoli sprouts last and push them down into the mixture. Blend briefly – keeping thermal exposure low helps preserve sensitive sulforaphane compound activity.5. Finish & Preserve: Top off with Ceylon cinnamon for antioxidant support and natural preservation, then blend lightly one final time.
