1 ripe banana
2 T flax meal
1 big handful baby spinach
1.5 cups vanilla rice milk
handful of ice cubes
Why eat pineapple? Loaded with vitamins and minerals, pineapple is full of health benefits. Manganese, a trace mineral, is needed to build connective tissues and bones. Bromelain helps suppress coughs, loosens mucus, and aids in digestion. Pineapple is also known to prevent macular degeneration, which leads to vision loss, and alleviate arthritis. There’s plenty more, but I think you get the picture:)
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
