Healthy Spinach and Kale Smoothie Recipes: Boost Your Nutrition

Superfoods, you’ve all heard of them, right? Want to know a little secret? Turns out ‘superfood’ isn’t really a thing. It’s more of a marketing exercise. Now, before you throw out your leafy greens and berries for lying to you, let’s readdress this. While there’s no scientific evidence for a type of food being a superfood, there are absolutely types of foods that have immense nutritional properties. So they’re absolutely worth your time and investment.

Today we’re focusing on spinach and kale and how they can significantly uplift your health. More specifically, when blended into delicious smoothies, these nutrient-loaded greens pack your smoothie with the vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants that your body is crying out for.

To make a delicious spinach and kale smoothie, try blending 2 cups of fresh spinach, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 leaf of kale, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for added protein and energy. You can also add a sliced frozen banana for a creamy texture.
