DARK LEAFY GREENS: Digestive enzyme support
Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, iron, and calcium. These greens are packed with antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and protect against chronic diseases. The high fiber content aids in digestion and supports a healthy gut microbiome.
BANANA: HEART HEALTH SUPPORT
Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, which is essential for heart health and maintaining proper blood pressure levels. They also contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. The natural sugars in bananas provide a quick energy boost, while the fiber helps to regulate blood sugar levels.
MEDJOOL DATE: MINERAL SUPPORT
Medjool dates are a natural sweetener loaded with essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and copper. They are high in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Dates also contain antioxidants that support overall health and protect cells from damage.
OATS: BETA-GLUCAN SUPPORT
Oats are a whole grain packed with soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which helps to lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health. They provide a good source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. Oats are also known for their ability to keep you feeling full longer, making them a great addition to a breakfast smoothie.
Coconut Yogurt: PROBIOTIC SUPPORT
Coconut yogurt is a dairy-free alternative rich in probiotics, which promote a healthy gut and improve digestion. It is also a good source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, including iron and magnesium. The creamy texture adds a delicious consistency to the smoothie while supporting your immune system.
Cinnamon: ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SPICE
Cinnamon is a spice loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and improve sensitivity to insulin. Cinnamon also contains manganese, iron, and calcium, making it a flavorful way to boost your overall health.
