leafy greens in smoothies
Spinach provides 604% of the recommended daily values of vitamin K  and 188% of the RDV of vitamin A ( 6). Kale is a great source of vitamin K, important for blood clotting, and vitamin A, important for vision, as well as vitamin C. Arugula, known for its slightly nutty and peppery taste, is very common in the Mediterranean diet. If you’re tired of salads, try throwing <anchor>leafy greens in smoothies</anchor>; you’ll barely be able to tell, and it’s a great way to sneak more greens and nutrients into your diet.
