Spinach-banana smoothie

Spinach is high in fibre and water, both of which promote a healthy digestive tract and help weight management. It is rich in iron, vitamin C and E, potassium, and magnesium. In addition to its many vitamins and minerals, spinach provides antioxidants that lower inflammation and offer protection from disease. Spinach can help stop insulin spikes and discourage fat storage. It has thylakoids, which lower the hunger hormone and help with appetite control.
