What Is In The Spring Pea Smoothie From NutriBullet?
The NutriBullet Spring Pea smoothie ingredients are bananas, spring mix greens, oranges, green peas, coconut water, lime juice, coconut flakes, and mint leaves.
Bananas – Bananas are very healthy, readily available, and one of the least expensive fruits you can buy. They have relatively few calories, are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, are full of potent antioxidants including flavonoids and animes, and are high in dietary fiber. Studies have shown that bananas can improve insulin sensitivity and may improve kidney health.
Leafy Greens – Leafy greens are extremely important in a healthy diet, providing vitamins, minerals, and fiber in a low calorie profile. Some of the most healthy varieties are arugula, collard greens, kale, microgreens, spinach, Swiss chard, and watercress. Leafy greens have been shown to reduce the risk of obesity, prevent heart disease, lower high blood pressure, and boost cognitive function.
Oranges – Oranges are the most popular of all citrus fruits. They are absolutely packed with vitamin C and provide significant amounts of the flavonoids hesperidin and naringenin as well as carotenoids beta-cryptoxanthin and lycopene. Oranges promote healthy immune function, boost heart health, and have been shown to prevent anemia.
Peas – Peas are one of the most popular vegetables and are rich in nutrients and fiber. They contain significant amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, thiamine, folate, manganese, and iron. Also, peas are one of the best plant-based sources of protein available.
Coconut Water – Coconut water has become an increasingly popular health drink as of late. It is low in calories, efficiently replenishes electrolytes, is an excellent source of potassium, and contains potent free radical fighting antioxidants. Also, coconut water has been shown to lower blood sugar levels in people suffering from diabetes, prevent kidney stone formation, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Lime Juice – Limes are a sour citrus fruit that are best known for their immunity boosting nutrients. They are loaded with vitamin C and contain other important minerals such as riboflavin and niacin. Limes are also known to reduce the risk of heart disease, prevent kidney stones, and aid in the absorption of iron.
Coconuts – Coconuts are a popular tropical fruit harvested from the coconut palm tree. They are an excellent source of protein and provide several important minerals, including manganese, copper, selenium, iron, phosphorous, and potassium. Coconuts are also known to promote heart health and help stabilize blood sugar.
Mint – Mint is well known for the minty cool sensation it provides and is a popular ingredient in a variety of drinks and dishes. It is rich in nutrients including vitamin A, iron, and manganese, although it is typically used only as a flavoring agent in small quantities. The menthol in mint has been shown to relieve indigestion and reduce Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
NutriBullet Spring Pea Smoothie Recipe
NutriBullet Spring Pea smoothie recipe tastes like a fruity green smoothie with hint of refreshing mint. This recipe will show you how to make one.
Ingredients
- 1/2 bananas, frozen, sliced
- 1 cup leafy greens, spring mix
- 1 oranges, peeled, deseeded
- 1/4 cup peas, green, frozen
- 1 1/2 cups coconut water, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp coconut flakes, unsweetened
- 3 mint leaves
- 1 scoop Collagen Boost, optional
Instructions
- Place bananas, spring mix greens, oranges, green peas, coconut water, lime juice, coconut flakes, and mint leaves into a NutriBullet blender and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Notes
- For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.
- If you don't have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
