Super Green Smoothie
Funny thing about green smoothies. To most people they don’t look particularly appealing, but they can be absolutely delicious with the right mix of veggies and fruit. I’ve been looking to do my own version of a green smoothie ever since my first tasting. My first taste was at a health food store sampling. It looked strange, and on sight wouldn’t have paid money for it, but I’m always willing to taste anything at least once (unless it’s slimy or still moving on the plate). Much to my surprise, it was amazing! I’ve been looking to do my own version of the “green” smoothie ever since with slightly less sugar, and the same deliciousness.
This smoothie is-
- High in potassium to balance sodium in the body to aid in reducing blood pressure.
- High in vitamin K to aid in blood clotting
- High in antioxidants to help fight free radicals that cause cancer
- High in healthy fats which are good for heart health
- High in vitamin C which is best known for boosting the immune system
