Green Detox Smoothie Recipes for Immunity & Iron

1. Iron-rich smoothie:

Iron-rich smoothie

Iron is needed in the body to make hemoglobin, a protein in RBCs. Hemoglobin is required to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. A deficiency of iron leads to many problems, like dizziness and headaches, which can also impact overall health and weight loss.

Iron is present in foods in two forms: heme and non-heme iron. Heme iron is found in non-vegetarian foods like poultry, seafood, etc. Most of the heme iron is readily absorbed by our bodies. Non-heme iron is present in all plant-based foods like lentils, beans, spinach, amaranthus, collard greens, radish leaves, etc. Our bodies are less efficient at absorbing non-heme iron. Hence, there is less iron absorption from plant-based food items.

To improve the absorption of iron from plant-based food sources, one must consume iron-rich foods along with vitamin-C-rich foods like amla, lemon, orange juice, strawberries, guava, etc. This green detox smoothie is a perfect blend of plant-based iron sources packed with vitamin C for proper iron absorption. It also supports weight loss by providing essential nutrients while keeping you energized. Drink this smoothie at least 4 times a week on an empty stomach to see the best results.
