Kiwis, bananas, apples, and romaine lettuce all blended together in a delicious smoothie will energize you and give you many wonderful health benefits. From disease prevention to an abundance of vitamins and minerals, kiwis are obviously pretty awesome. They are especially high in vitamin C and potassium, which together with the banana, you'll get a mega potassium boost. The chlorophyll from the romaine lettuce will deliver abundant amounts of oxygen directly into your body, blood, cells, organs and brain. And for apples, well, just one a day will keep the doctor away!
Enjoy this refreshing smoothie anytime you need a quick boost!
