Spinach Smoothie Benefits
So why include spinach in your diet? First, it’s a very healthy food. It’s full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.
Like other green veggies, spinach may help lower cholesterol levels, particularly the bad LDL ones. It’s also a great source of iron and potassium.
It’s so easy to add spinach to a smoothie with ingredients like greek yogurt or almond milk, along with some fruits like strawberries, bananas, and even avocados for flavor. And when you can’t get fresh items, that’s okay. You can use frozen spinach and frozen fruit for all the same nutrition.
Note: if you’ve heard that despite being a great source of iron, spinach inhibits iron absorption, that’s true. But it doesn’t inhibit it enough to worry about it. And if you’re really concerned, it turns out getting some lemon juice into you at the same time will counteract that. Just squeeze some into your smoothie if you like.
