Recipes of Green Smoothies for Weight Loss : Pineapple-Spinach Fantasy

Ingredient List:

• 1 1/2 oz. baby spinach
• 4 oz. pineapple - chopped
• 1 persimmon -  chopped
• 3 tablespoon of coconut flakes
• 2 tablespoons of dried mulberries
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of ice

Directions:

When ready, simply process all the ingredients together in your favorite blender. You can shake it up or stir it up, then serve and enjoy. Cube or chop vegetables to make them blitz easier before blending. I like to add any leafy vegetables in last, and then add a touch more water if I want the consistency smoother or silkier. Great garnishes include: lemon, celery, chia seeds, or a slice of tomato. Add ice on a hot day to make the drink cooler.

Amazing Facts: Mulberries are Super-Cool

Native to China, mulberries are mildly sweet and contain a very high amount of vitamin C, fiber, and much-needed potassium as well. Additionally, they contain iron, which is needed by the hemoglobin in red blood cells because of its ability to bind with oxygen, and consequently transport it throughout the body.
