Green Monster Smoothie

Green Monster Smoothie
This is a great smoothie for athletes who are experiencing exercise-induced anemia. The spinach and almond butter provide great sources of iron and the Vitamin C from the orange juice* aids in iron absorption.

1 banana
1c Orange Juice*
1c spinach
2tbsp almond butter
6 ice cubes then Blend!!

*Make sure the orange juice you choose does not have calcium in it, since calcium inhibits the absorption of iron.
