Why I love it

Spinach is a great source of glutathione which is a powerful antioxidant, DNA protector, immunity strengthener, and free-radical fighting agent. Plus a lot of vitamins and easy to use in everything.

Cherries have a ton of Vitamin C which is good for skin and immunity, plus they provide B vitamins, manganese, copper, magnesium, and vitamin K. Cherries are also a good source of fiber, which helps keep your digestive system healthy by fueling beneficial gut bacteria.

Bananas are a good carb to help you fill full and satisfied, lots of potassium, Vitamin C, manganese and great for digestion.

Walnuts contain a lot of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are healthier than saturated fats. In addition, walnuts have alpha-linolenic and linoleic acids, which may have anti-inflammatory effects that keep blood vessels healthy, in addition to having favorable effects on blood lipids.

Ginger is an antioxidant powerhouse with a lot of flavonoids, helping the fight against aging. It has a strong flavor, but a great kick start to your body.

Almonds and its milk are filled with monounsaturated fats, fiber, and the nutrients biotin and vitamin E, almonds provide a slew of heart protecting and blood sugar-regulating benefits.
