4. Spicy Spinach Surprise
Do your childhood memories include watching the cartoon “Popeye?” This spinach-loving hero gains massive amounts of strength after eating a tin of the leafy greens. Spinach is rich in iron, a critical mineral responsible for increasing the presence of oxygen in red blood cells.
People with an iron deficiency often experience the condition, “anemia,” where they don’t get enough oxygen into the bloodstream, resulting in feelings of fatigue. This recipe is excellent for pregnant women, as the pregnancy may deplete their system of iron.
Spinach also contains significant quantiles of the bone-building mineral, calcium – making this smoothie an attractive option for anyone with deficiencies in these critical minerals.
2-cups spinach – stalks removed.
1-green apple.
1-inch ginger root.
Drink this juice in the morning 20-minutes before your breakfast. Drinking this juice on an empty stomach gives your body a boost of minerals and energy first thing in the morning before you head out the door for work or the gym. Yields 2-cups.
