This smoothie is so packed with nutrients that it's almost a liquid multivitamin. Four different fruits provide a wide range of nutrients, from potassium in the banana to vitamin C in the orange. They all contribute to this smoothie's 10 grams of fiber per serving, too, which is something those bottled juices lack.
But the real star of this show is Superfood Greens. Each serving boasts 210mg of magnesium, an electrolyte and mineral that's involved in more than 300 reactions in your body. It plays a vital role in everything from metabolism and energy production to muscle contractions, all of which affect your ability to achieve your fitness goals.
Superfood Greens also delivers zinc and vitamin D, nutrients your body needs for peak health and performance. Think that's impressive? It also provides Rhodiola, an adaptogen that may help physical performance and reduce fatigue, and probiotics, which help support gut health. Let's see your old juice live up to that.
