A green smoothie that is not green is very welcome to many folks who are put off by the color. Mud colored smoothies are even worse, so it was good to see there were enough blueberries in this one to keep a ‘healthy’ color, lol!

This is one nutrient rich smoothie. My green smoothie didn’t turn out green at all. There are tiny specks of green, but the blueberries and mango won the color battle.
Even if you can’t see the color, you know you are getting great benefits from that spinach …
Spinach is full of antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene. Plus it has vitamin A, K, iron, folate, manganese, zinc, and selenium.
Spinach also has two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants aid in vision and help prevent age-related macular degeneration.
