RED GRAPE HEART HEALTHY GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPE

Red grapes, preferably seeded, are the star of this easy heart healthy green smoothie recipe.

They not only add a natural sweetness, red grapes in particular have resveratrol in the skin, which is why doctors recommend drinking one glass of wine per day for heart health.

Get the same benefits without a possible hangover! 😉 The seeds in the grapes also provide a natural nutritional benefit (no need to buy grape seed extract anymore!)

Use a good power blender to liquefy the skin & seeds and therefore easily absorb all the nutrients in the red grapes, spinach, banana, and optional chia seeds. 

This green smoothie recipe is a simple combination that works for kids and adults alike.  Easy to make in the morning, it only contains 3 ingredients and gives you plenty of energy to get up and going!
