Day 30 of Green Smoothies

Today is day 30 of green smoothies. Our goal was to reach 30 days, but we will continue the green smoothies. Today's smoothie has plenty of spinach, water, mango, pineapple, and orange juice. Spinach is rich in iron. Mango is good for blood sugar levels. Pinneapple has bromelain (enzyme) to aid in the digestion of protein, and of which is more concentrated in the core of the pineapple. And orange juice for vitamin C to aid in the absorption of iron.

Recipe:
7 cups spinach
2.5 - 3 cups filtered water
1 mango
1 cup pineapple
2 Tbs orange juice
Blend in a high speed blender until liquified.
