This smoothie is packed with goodness. The spinach provides Iron while the lime provides a tartness and the Vitamin C to help your body absorb the Iron. Flax & Chia provide fiber, Pumpkin Seeds, Flax & Chia provide protein and healthy fats. Hemp Hearts are packed full of good things. I started using them specifically to get more Magnesium & Manganese in an attempt to rid myself of night time leg cramps due to increased fitness training. 1 month later, so far so good! Bananas are just great all around, what I can I say? My recommendation, google the foods you are eating and learn what is in them and which foods are best for your needs.
