Okay, let’s be honest. Does it sound good? Spinach and apples? I know I like a spinach salad (my favorite) with walnut, apples, raisins on top…but as a drink? I have to take this seriously. I am trying my best to turn over a new leaf, get it? I’ll be turning over my spinach leaf soon! So I was skeptical but I like to try new things. Healthy things. Things that are good for my body – so I did.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 cups spinach leaves
- 2 apples
Make according to juicing instructions.
Popeye the Sailorman, who may I add, lived in a garbage can….got big strong muscles from spinach, did he not? Wonder why they started this great advertisement of spinach. I couldn’t find the answer, but they were on to something!
The properties and benefits of spinach (are you ready for this?!)
- nutritient-dense food – meaning rich in nutrients without a lot of calories..holla!
- high in minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients
- source of vitamins K, A, C, B2, B6
- how about calcium, magnesium, folate, iron
- lots of flavonoids which act as antioxidants
- heart healthy
- anti-inflammatory properties
- protect against eye diseases
- help your brain be young and funciton
- excellent source of iron
Really, you need to eat your spinach. Again, it’s absolutely my favorite!
