ANEMIA-FIGHTING GREEN SMOOTHIE

According to the Mayo Clinic, "anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues." This can make you weak and tired, which is the opposite of what we want!

It's important to fight anemia by getting extra iron, but our bodies also need extra vitamin C in order to actually absorb the iron. This smoothie has the perfect combination of both and it tastes delicious!

You will get a nice dose of iron from the spinach & kale (or whatever leafy greens you choose), and the grapes and kiwi provide vitamin C. The lemon is also high in vitamin C, but we use it in every smoothie because it benefits nearly every part of your body.

My friend also made this smoothie to fight morning sickness when pregnant. If that also applies to you, it's just one more reason to give this a try!
