FOOD PAIRINGS WE DISCUSS
Listen to the episode for the ‘why’ behind each pairing.
Grains and legumes/pulses, like rice and beans
Mangos and spinach
Tea (camellia sinensis) and lemon/citrus
Walnuts and tart cherries
Salsa and guacamole
Salad greens and olive oil/oil-based dressing
Tomato sauce and olive oil
Herb/spices and animal proteins
TropiSoCal SMOOTHIE RECIPE
Simple and refreshing with synergistic superpowers! Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron and when it comes to leafy greens and other plant sources of iron, we need a boost to help our bodies absorb the iron. A single mango has 100% of the daily vitamin C, which helps promote a healthy immune system as well as skin and heart health. Spinach provides plant-based iron, a nutrient essential for energy and oxygen-delivery. Blend them into a tasty smoothie to boost the absorption of the iron while getting an excellent source of vitamin C. Popeye would be proud.
INGREDIENTS:
1 medium banana
1 large fresh mango (or 1 1/2 cup frozen)
2 handfuls fresh spinach (about 2 cups)
2 tsp honey
½ tsp ground ginger
3/4 cup coconut water
1 ½ cup tart cherry juice
2 scoops (2 servings) of your preferred protein powder (vanilla or plain, unsweetened)
or Greek yogurt
Ice (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Blend for 45-60 seconds and enjoy. Makes 2 servings.
