Make Your Own Superfood Smoothie

Smoothies are the ultimate improv recipe, easily adaptable with whatever ingredients you have on hand. But be thoughtful about your choices, and make sure you’re getting the biggest nutrient-dense bang for your buck. This blend of superfoods can help you power up for whatever the day throws your way. Blueberries, chia seeds, and yes even spinach deliver a wide range of antioxidants, protein, iron, and more. Cauliflower adds a good dose of fiber to the drink but its flavor stays in the background, letting the fruits shine through.
