All the ingredients in the Vitamix Container
Ready to Drink and Enjoy!
Popeye’s Special is loaded with spinach, which is rich in phytonutrients such as carotenoids and flavonoids, both which which have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits. It also has an immense amount of antioxidants vitamin A, Vitamin K and Vitamin C and E to neutralize any free radicals that can damage healthy cells and strengthen your immune system and regulate hormones. Mangos and Spinach, are both known to be rich in iron, which is responsible for carrying oxygen to the blood cells. Mangos are also known to have enzymes that can help to relieve indigestion problems. I always recommend using organic ingredients to steer clear from fruits with pesticides. For this recipe I used the Vitamix Blender, it has so many capabilities (purée, blend, dice, chop, make hot soups, chop nuts etc.), it blows away anything else I have ever used. That’s one less piece of equipment you’ll need, it saves counter space and money! Enjoy!
