Iron Boosting Green Juice Recipe

This Iron Boosting green juice recipe is a little sweet and a little tart and a great way to get your vitamins that your body may be lacking, in this instance iron! I really think this is the best green juice recipe because it is so tasty with the sweet and tart notes combined. The benefits of green juice is it is made with spinach, citrus and fruit which are all so healthy and so absolutely delicious.

Benefits of green juice

If you are looking for a way to increase or maintain your stores of iron and stave off anemia, this spinach based green juice is just the right daily drink for you. It is loaded with spinach, limes and lemons (the citrus helps us absorb the iron in vegetables), banana, apple and pear with a touch of honey and water to blend it all together.

You can tweak this iron rich juice to suit your taste but do not leave out the citrus and spinach part. This is the iron boosting part of the drink.

I like the sweet from the honey and the tart from all the citrus.

Green Juice Ingredients

• Fresh Spinach
• Bananas
• Pears
• Apples
• Lemons
• Limes
• Honey
• Water

There is a lot of good stuff going on in this juice as you can see from the ingredients list. When I make this juice, it just makes sense to make a few of them ahead of time.

I like to store the prepped versions that have not been blended in my fridge for when for when I need a quick boost of energy. It just makes sense to prep all at once.

Preparing this green juice ahead of time

When I prep my ingredients ahead of time, I like to store them in working jars like seen in the picture. When it is time for me to make my juice, I just grab one from the refrigerator and dump it into my Vitamix blender.

I add a little honey and water and blitz away. Super easy and this guarantees that I am going to drink them everyday (because I am lazy sometimes).

Making this green juice into a green smoothie

You can make this into an iron boosting spinach smoothie by adding some ice into the blender instead of water. I like the juice because I feel like it is less filling.

If you prefer smoothies then by all means make it that way! You can also freeze bags of the prepped fruit in the freezer and blend this all up to get a delicious thick smoothie if you don't want to add ice.
