Managing the diet

Day 4 Green smoothie challenge

again taken from the young and raw blog but modified for pku. Took out the chai seeds!

Day 4: Deep Blue Green Smoothie

  • 1 frozen banana
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 leaves kale, stems removed
  • 1-inch piece ginger root
  • 1-2 cups coconut water or water

Health Benefits: Did you know that kale has more iron ounce for ounce than ground beef?  That’s right!  When you combine it with a rich source of vitamin C like you find in our antioxidant rich blueberries you enable your body to absorb up to 30% more of that iron.  Pretty cool, right?
