Heart Smart Blueberry Spinach Smoothie

Feb 21, 2020 | Drink Recipes

This smoothie is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Packed with berries, spinach, bananas and more, this smoothie is super healthy for your heart!

Spinach is filled with nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, B vitamins, fiber as well as being very rich in folate which is important for building and maintaining healthy red blood cells, which the heart needs!

Sometimes leafy greens in smoothies can scare people away from trying them. This was me before, I used to think that the smoothie would end up tasting too much like a veggie juice. If that’s the case for you, this is the perfect recipe for your first leafy green smoothie.
