Lately I’ve been drinking lots of spinach-banana smoothies, here’s the recipe!
Baby spinach, 5 oz
A small piece (~20g) of jerusalem artichokes, for its prebiotic potential
Frozen bananas, 5-7 oz
Water, 4-6 oz
Put all that into the blender, then drink it…It’s delicious and nutrient packed!

In a previous post, with the goal of reducing all-cause mortality risk I wrote about obtaining (at least) 1000 micrograms of Vitamin K per day. To do that, I’ve begun making pineapple-spinach smoothies!
To make it, I used 8 oz of fresh pineapple, which I put in the freezer for 1 hour (because I like frozen drinks). Then, I added 6 oz of baby spinach, 15 grams of fresh ginger, ~3 oz of water, and blended it. All that adds up to 170 calories, 821 micrograms of Vitamin K, and it’s delicious!
