These smoothies get their name from being loaded with nutrient-rich superfoods that can have a positive effect on your health.
For example, a combination of spinach, pineapple, ginger, and turmeric provides a powerful mix of vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Adding yogurt or kefir introduces probiotics for gut health.
