Green Blueberry Cinnamon Smoothie

This unique Green Blueberry Cinnamon Smoothie may seem weird, but I promise it is not!! The banana provides natural sweetness and potassium for heart health, while the blueberries offer antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Ground cinnamon not only adds warmth and a kick but also aids in blood sugar control. Pineapple adds a tropical twist along with vitamin C and bromelain (enzyme) for improved digestion and immune support. Surprisingly, you cannot taste the zucchini at all but it is a great addition as it’s filled with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This smoothie is truly one of my favorites as it is a powerhouse of nutrients!
