 Spinach and Grape Smoothie with Lime
hyyc
Famous for being the secret to Popeye’s legendary strength, spinach is truly a nutritional powerhouse—and perfect for green smoothies.  

A Harvard University study found that women who ate spinach more than five times a week had a 47 percent decrease in risk of cataract surgery compared with those who ate spinach less than once a month.
  
--- I rely on my blender ---
I take my blender with me when I am going out of town and traveling by car.

The point
.
Smoothies are a remarkable
addition to any diet as you can cram in loads
of vitamins through veggies & fruits as you
enjoy something delicious!

Try adding
 some GREEN
to your next 
smoothie!
