What You Need to Make Green Wellness Shots

• Greens of Choice (Spring Mix, Spinach, or Kale): These leafy greens are powerhouses of vitamins A, C, K, and minerals like iron and calcium. Spinach and kale, in particular, are known for their high antioxidant content, which can help reduce oxidative stress and may lower the risk of chronic diseases. Use whatever leafy greens you’ve got!
• Green Apples: Rich in fiber and vitamin C, green apples are fantastic for digestive health and boosting the immune system. The fiber content also promotes heart health by helping to lower cholesterol levels.
• Fresh Pineapple: Pineapple is not just juicy and delicious; it contains bromelain, an enzyme that may aid in digestion and reduce inflammation. It’s also high in vitamin C and manganese, supporting immune health and antioxidant defences. I love adding a sweet fruit or two to help balance the acidity and earthiness of the other ingredients.
• Fresh Parsley: Parsley is much more than a garnish; it’s a nutritional powerhouse containing vitamins A, C, and K, and antioxidants like luteolin, which can help protect the body against oxidative stress and support bone health.
• Ginger: Known for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, ginger can help alleviate nausea, improve digestion, and may reduce muscle pain and soreness.
• Kiwi: These small fruits pack a big nutritional punch, high in vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, and potassium. They’re also rich in antioxidants and fiber, which can aid digestion and boost heart health.
• Limes: Limes are an excellent source of vitamin C, vital for immune function, skin health, and iron absorption. They also contain antioxidants that can neutralize harmful free radicals.
• Celery: Celery is low in calories but high in fiber and water, making it excellent for hydration and digestion. It also contains phytonutrients that may have anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Cucumbers: Comprising mostly water, cucumbers are incredibly hydrating. They also contain vitamins K and C, and potassium, making them great for skin health and blood pressure regulation.
• Coconut Water: A natural hydrator due to its electrolyte content, particularly potassium, coconut water can support hydration better than water alone. It’s also low in calories and a healthier alternative to sugary beverages.
