Why these ingredients?

Not only are you getting a sturdy start on your 10 a day with this smoothie! The nutrients in this smoothie are perfect as your morning boost of post-workout option! Here’s a quick breakdown; Spinach – we all know, and love is a nutrient-rich vegetable full of potassium and magnesium which are ESSENTIAL for muscle growth! I try to add a leafy green to all of my smoothies to give it a good base!

Strawberries – the sweetest berry of them all are a perfect immunity booster, and many studies have shown Strawberries incredible benefits of reducing inflammation so have been linked with easing arthritis symptoms too!

Blueberries – are one of the highest antioxidant fruits, they’re super high in fibre and can reduce muscle damage after strenuous exercise too!

Frozen Banana – I personally add for the sweetness, people are so afraid of the sugars in bananas, but they are one of the nutrient-rich fruits supporting digestive health and adding fibre to the smoothie! It will also thicken the smoothie too, keeping you fuller for longer and releasing energy!!

Organic Green Blends – The brand I use and love is from Naturya, it has a combination of hemp, wheatgrass, barley grass, spirulina and chlorella powder! They’re what turn this smoothie into your super smoothie and nourish your body from the inside out! I personally only add this to the smoothie if I’m having it after a workout
