Wanna improve your health on the inside and out? Make this mega skin brightening and disease-fighting Rainbow Smoothie in advance and freeze in THE POWCH! for a boost all week! It’s THREE delicious smoothie recipes in one!!
Mango, kiwi, and strawberry provide a powerhouse of skin glowing and disease-fighting vitamins and antioxidants.
In addition, we like to combine greens with our fruit smoothies for the added nutrient benefits. Spinach is a neutral-tasting, leafy green that is barely noticeable when mixed with sweet fruits.
Spinach is considered a superfood because of its nutrient density and health benefits. This leafy green helps your skin, hair and bones! Healthline reports that spinach contains the following:
- Vitamin A. Spinach is high in carotenoids, which your body can turn into vitamin A.
- Vitamin C. This vitamin is a powerful antioxidant that promotes skin health and immune function.
- Vitamin K1. This vitamin is essential for blood clotting. Notably, one spinach leaf contains over half of your daily needs.
- Folic acid. Also known as folate or vitamin B9, this compound is vital for pregnant women and essential for normal cellular function and tissue growth.
- Iron. Spinach is an excellent source of this essential mineral. Iron helps create hemoglobin, which brings oxygen to your body’s tissues.
- Calcium. This mineral is essential for bone health and a crucial signaling molecule for your nervous system, heart, and muscles.
