Another very different healthy weight-loss smoothie recipe from GreenBlender.com – this time using parsnips as a base. (Parsnip is my favorite veg – especially when roasted…)

This is a lo-fat, lo-calorie smoothie, rich in vitamin-C**, which is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues.

**Vitamin-C is required by many body functions, including formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Your body won’t store vitamin-c, so no need to be concerned about taking too much.

Scroll down to the next page to check out the recipe and feel free to Like and Share this post (if you do like it!) Here’s GreenBlender.com waxing eloquent on the nutrient benefits of this smoothie recipe…

Parsnips are a starchy, high fiber, low calorie vegetable, making them a perfect base for a smoothie, and a great substitute for potatoes in many recipes. They’re also a good source of folate and vitamin C.

Another great source of vitamin C is pineapple, which actually has more vitamin C per serving than an orange.

Chia seeds are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids (which is great if you’re a vegan, or just not into fish oil), as well as fiber, magnesium and calcium.

Swiss chard is one of the most nutrient dense greens out there, full of antioxidants, beta-carotene, and yes, even more vitamin C.
