The Importance of Fiber

Apples are sometimes referred to as nature’s scrub brushes because of the powerful amount of fiber they contain. Found in deep greens, vegetables, and fruit, fiber plays an important role in helping your body rid itself of waste products that may be causing irregularity. The indigestible fibers that pass through the digestive system literally sweep lingering waste with them as they leave the body.

1. Combine spinach, apples, ginger, and 1 cup water in a blender and blend until thoroughly combined.
2. Add remaining water while blending until desired texture is achieved.
