We hear and want it all: eat as many vegetables as possible per day. This is not so simple in everyday life!
British research has shown that people who eat five servings of vegetables (375 grams) and 300 grams of fruit daily have 42 percent less chance of premature death than people who eat less green. The facts are there, vegetables are important for our well-being! Yet many people do not make these servings of vegetables a day by far, because what do we have to eat and how do you prepare it? The preparation should not last too long and it should also taste pleasant. The pleasant thing about vegetable shakes is that you make them in a jiffy, they are suitable for any time of the day, easy to carry and they stay for at least two days in the fridge so you can enjoy it for several days.
Besides the fact that spinach is good for building our muscles, this green vegetable contains even more positive characteristics. Spinach provides strong bones, it can prevent heart and vascular diseases (by the vegetable omega-3 fats and folic acid-containing spinach), it provides a lot of iron and is important for the formation of red blood cells and oxygen transport in the body.
We can conclude that spinach has enough good qualities to eat or drink more often!
