California Prune Bone Health Smoothie
This smoothie has everything you need for a meal or snack: energy, protein, fibre, phytonutrients, along with minerals such as calcium, manganese, and iron. In fact, things necessary for good bone health too. Protein is needed for making the collagen structure of bone; calcium is used for making bones strong; manganese and iron are co-factors in the formation of bone; and fibre and phytonutrients from the dark purple fruit help to reduce inflammation, which can cause bone breakdown if left unchecked.
