Anemia-Fighting Green Smoothie

September 28, 2015 Mckenzie Hettman

When I was pregnant with my daughter it felt like I had a million complications. One of those complications was being severely anemic. I adjusted my supplements of course, but started making anemia-fighting smoothies as well. It's important to fight anemia by getting extra iron, but our bodies also need extra vitamin C in order to actually absorb the iron. This smoothie has the perfect combination of both and it tastes delicious! You will get a nice dose of iron from the spinach & kale (or whichever leafy greens you use in your power blend), and the kiwi & grapes provide the vitamin C. The lemon is also high in vitamin C, but I use it in every smoothie because it benefits nearly every part of your body!

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 a kiwi, peeled
  • 1/2 cup of green grapes (about 10-12 grapes depending on size)
  • 2 cups of fresh baby power greens (spinach, kale, etc) 
  • 1 lemon wedge, peeled (remove the seeds if there are any)
  • 1 cup of cold water
  • 1 handful of ice 

Method

  1. Peel the lemon wedge and remove the seeds, then peel half a kiwi. Place the kiwi and lemon in a blender.
  2. Add all other ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth.
  3. Drink up for healthy blood! :)

Try this garlic artichoke dip if you’re hosting/attended a Super Bowl party🏈 My recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthy twist👍 P.S This recipe has only received extremely positive feedback and hundreds of people have made it (thanks Pinterest)🙃 #superbowl

I wasn’t planning on sharing my #bestnine but my heart melted a little when I saw that it was all pictures of my family! So sweet that my family was “liked” more than all the food pics. ❤️❤️
Follow your heart.
I remember when the office was still running and EVERYONE said they had a love like Jim and Pam. From the beginning Brian and I always said we were more like Michael & Holly.. Several years later and a couple beet farmers later, I think we're identifying more with Dwight & Angela😂 #bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica
Do you have a food you eat several times a week, every week? For us, it's this simple arugula salad😍 All you need is a heaping bowl of arugula (my favorite green), shaved Parmesan, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, cracked pepper, and course sea salt. #simplefancy
My garden is growing like crazy which means salad season isn't over yet❤️🥗

Huckleberry scones😋 #summereats
This weekend was absolutely blissful🖤 For Huck's first camping trip, we went to the mountain and set up camp nestled in a field of wild Huckleberries. I mean how cute is that?! It was the coolest thing to have thousands of wild berries surrounding us and the view of Mount Adams was stunning!
I'm dreaming of fall after the last few days of cooler weather and even some rain! Definitely looking forward to the food more than anything😊 This delicata squash and kale salad with maple vinaigrette is the reason fall foods are so pretty🍁
