5 smoothie recipes to fuel a disease-free body
4. Chocolate Spinach Smoothie
This may seem like a strange combination, but the flavors actually blend wonderfully. This drink is rich in vitamins A and C, calcium and iron. It’s great as a change of pace for breakfast, or a nutritious pick-me-up during that afternoon slump.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 frozen banana, chopped into pieces
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup non-fat yogurt
- 1 cup chocolate almond milk
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Top with cinnamon if you wish.
Quick tip: To keep the oxalic acid in spinach from blocking your body’s absorption of the calcium and iron, “quick cook” your spinach the night before. Bring water to boil, add spinach and let cook for almost 2 minutes, then submerge it in ice water. Drain and store in fridge to use in recipes.
