Green Mint Delight

I wanted to share my latest obsession for my post workout smoothie. I try a lot of different things and love to create new recipes for my post workout shakes. This one is the GREEN MINT DELIGHT

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen spinach
1 scoop favorite protein powder
8-10 ice-cubes
1 cup almond milk/water (your choice)
1 scoop SoTru organic greens (found @www.sotru.com)
1/2 banana
Stevia or all natural sweetener (sweeten to your liking)

Combine all ingredients into blender and blend until creamy. ENJOY. Repeat as desired.

This shake not only takes amazing, it's packed full of antioxidants, 7 servings of vegetables, protein and will curb any sweet tooth you have. BACK AWAY FROM THE ICE CREAM!

Frozen spinach makes a great addition to smoothies, its low in calories and FULL of benefits. Blending frozen spinach with the other ingredients gives you a fresh and minty taste (thanks to the SoTru organic greens powder which has a minty flavor) It's full of antioxidants, vitamin C and E. It's also an excellent source of beta-carotene, potassium, zinc, magnesium, iron and calcium.

One of the reasons I have been adding spinach to my shakes is for its magnesium content. Lately I've been having various symptoms, I wasn't recovering from workouts, feeling weak, my muscles were always sore or aching, I had tension headaches, back pain, anxiety, my nervous system felt fried and I craved chocolate constantly. I did a little research of my own and found I may be deficient in magnesium so I found ways to naturally increase my levels by adding dietary rich foods into my meals. Spinach is one of the richest sources of magnesium and one frozen cup contains 117mg or 29% of your required daily amount. Not only is this an easy way to increase your dietary amounts, frozen spinach is cheap, all natural and readily available.
