Watermelon Spinach Smoothie Benefits 

Watermelon 

Who doesn't love a juicy slice of watermelon? There are so many benefits to a watermelon smoothie, these are just a few of our favorites. 

Known for its high water content (92% to be precise), watermelon brings a delicate sweetness and hydrating properties to your smoothie. But there's more - this refreshing fruit is also chock-full of nutrients and health benefits. 

It is abundant in lycopene, an antioxidant vitamin that reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, helping to alleviate daily discomforts.

Spinach 

With spinach, you're adding a superfood to your smoothie. 

Native to Southeast Asia, spinach is now a staple in U.S. households, thanks to California's year-round production. It's loaded with iron, vitamin E, potassium, and magnesium that promote healthy digestion, red blood cell formation, immune function, muscle and nerve health, and blood pressure regulation. 

Plus, the lutein and nitrates it contains play a key role in maintaining eye health and reducing body inflammation.
