From a Dietitian's Perspective
This smoothie is designed to support intestinal health and reduce inflammation, especially with its fiber, healthy fat and micronutrient content.
Spinach is rich in folate and iron. Green apple and cucumber contain both prebiotic fiber and antioxidants. Avocado supports hormonal balance with monounsaturated fatty acids that strengthen the intestinal barrier.
Chia seeds facilitate digestion by providing omega-3, soluble fiber and long-term satiety. It is ideal for individuals who want to stay full without experiencing a drop in energy, especially in the morning or during snacks.
