Health Benefits
Spinach: Spinach is such a great ingredient to add to your smoothies and shakes because it has a mild taste, but SO many nutrients to benefit your body! Spinach is an EXCELLENT source of calcium magnesium and iron and is rich in vitamins A, B6 and C as well. It can aid in digestion as well as help boost your immune system, so spinach is always a good idea! Blending up a spinach smoothie blueberry is a good way to add it to your diet!
Blueberries: Another superfood featured in this smoothie is blueberries! Blueberries, although very low in calories, are SUPER high in nutrients. They boast being high in fiber, manganese, and vitamins C and K as well as being one of fruits containing the highest amount of antioxidants. Antioxidants help guard our cells from free radicals and help our bodies fight against disease and illness.

Blueberry Spinach Smoothie FAQ
How do you make Smoothies more filling?Smoothies and shakes can be a GREAT on-the-go breakfast and snack, but some of them don’t fill us up and keep those hunger pangs at bay. If you want a smoothie to fill you up and keep you full, adding healthy fats will do the trick. In this recipe, I added avocado and it makes all the difference!
Can you taste Spinach in smoothies?Adding spinach to your shakes and smoothies is a great way to add those nutrients into your food in a more discrete way, because the taste is very mild! In a smoothie, when you add a handful or two of spinach, the taste will likely be overpowered by the fruits you add!
Are Smoothies good for weight loss?Smoothies can be great for weight loss if you add healthy fats. If you are replacing a meal with a smoothie, make sure it has enough to keep you full and meet your body’s needs. The avocado in this smoothie is a great way to make sure it’s enough!
