Nutritional Benefits

Smoothies are a nutritious way to boost fiber intake, aiding digestion and satiety, while facilitating the absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They improve nutrient absorption and increase fruit and vegetable consumption, supporting overall health.

Bananas – rich in potassium, essential for heart health and blood pressure regulation. They provide quick energy from natural sugars, contain dietary fiber for digestion, and offer essential vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin B6.

Basil – rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support bone health, immunity, and inflammation reduction, making it a valuable addition to a healthy diet.

Pineapple – high vitamin C content, which supports the immune system and acts as an antioxidant. It also contains bromelain, an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties, and provides essential nutrients like manganese and fiber.

Spinach – is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and calcium, which support bone health, immune function, and blood clotting. Its high fiber content promotes digestive health, and the presence of antioxidants contributes to anti-inflammatory effects.
