This smoothie is perfect on a hot summer day, for dessert, for those picky kids, or as a
healthy snack or meal. The incredible taste will have your taste buds jumping for joy
while your body gets a healthy dose of nutrients. Before I get to the actual recipe, let’s take a quick look at the health benefits attributed to kiwis, strawberries, and bananas.
The high amount of vitamin C present in kiwis offers much in the way of antioxidant protection. Kiwis are also a good source of dietary fiber and potassium and contain trace amounts of other minerals and vitamins. Like kiwis, strawberries are rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, and potassium, but also contain ample amounts of manganese, folate,
iodine, magnesium, and vitamin K. These nutrients lead to the reduction of inflammation,
good eye health, and cardiovascular protection while containing anticancer properties and
promoting strong, healthy bones.The good old banana contains many of the same nutrients as strawberries and kiwis.
Bananas support a healthy digestive tract with proper elimination, good cardiovascular
health, bone health, and eye health and help prevent cancer.
