💚 Fresh Spinach is not easy for me to get into my youngest, unless it’s in these delish muffins or smoothies! It is such an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals though that it’s worth a little extra effort!
• Vitamin A. Spinach is high in carotenoids, which your body can turn into vitamin A.
• Vitamin C. This vitamin is a powerful antioxidant that promotes skin health and immune function.
• Vitamin K1. This vitamin is essential for blood clotting. Notably, one spinach leaf contains over half of your daily needs.
• Folate (also known as vitamin B9) is essential for normal cellular function and tissue growth.
• Iron. Spinach is an excellent source of this essential mineral. Iron helps create hemoglobin, which brings oxygen to your body’s tissues.
• Calcium. This mineral is essential for bone health and a crucial signaling molecule for your nervous system, heart, and muscles.
💚 Spinach also contains potassium, magnesium, plus vitamins B6 and E
Have fun making some healthy hulk muffins and let us know if you enjoy them too!
