I know what you are thinking….parsnip and pineapple smoothie? Really? It’s actually pretty good! Pineapples are a great source of vitamin C which helps to keep our immune system strong. It’s also full of bromelain which promotes a healthy digestive system. The carrots in this smoothie have lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that work together to promote eye health. The parsnips are full of folate, magnesium, fiber, and vitamins B6 and E. Give this smoothie a try!
