Gotta love a delicious, nourishing smoothie! This Superfood Green Smoothie packs a bunch of nutrients and is easy to customize with adding even more superfoods that you have on hand. Be sure to print this one out because it’ll be perfect all year around!
Nutritional benefits of this smoothie
- Bananas are high in potassium, fiber, and more. They are satiating and sweet, making them a perfect addition to many smoothies.
- Spinach is rich in iron, vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium.
- Collagen adds healthy protein, making the smoothie more balanced and lower-glycemic. Collagen is great for skin, hair, nails, and more.
- Flaxseeds are known to reduce cholesterol, improve digestive health, and regulate bowel movements. They are rich in fiber and omega-3’s. Using flaxseed meal instead of whole flaxseeds really helps with their absorption, too, because our bodies can’t break down whole flaxseeds. Grinding them up is essential to utilize their nutrients!
