Chard is high in vitamin K, A, C, iron, calcium and fiber. It regulates blood sugar and it has great anti-inflammatory properties. You can read more about it here.
For the smoothie, you may choose a combination of fruits, fresh or frozen, or just one fruit. I suggest using organic, pesticide free produce; this is especially important if you use berries.
2 cups organic frozen strawberries
2 medium bananas
2 cups of coconut water (C2O, not raw)
2 cups of organic chard
Blend in VitaMix until smooth. I usually blend the fruits first, then add the greens.
I really like how you get the benefits of greens and the flavor of a fruit smoothie. This will change the way you think about getting greens in drink. All you taste is fruit. :)
