Super Greens Energy Smoothie

Kiwi is a tiny fruit with super power that makes it a cool fruit with lots of nutritional benefits. That’s why making smoothie makes it a yummy source of pre-fitness vitamins and minerals. Here are the super cool benefits of Kiwi.

Better Digestion

Kiwis are a source of dietary fiber, which can help promote regular digestion and prevent constipation. Kiwi also contains an enzyme called actinidin, which recent research shows may improve the breakdown and digestion of certain proteins.³

Supports Healthy Skin

Kiwis are high in vitamin C, which research points to playing a critical role in collagen synthesis, according to Turnbull.¹ Having enough collagen in the body helps maintain skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

While there are several other nutrients that contribute to healthy skin, regular consumption of vitamin C-rich foods, like kiwi, may help contribute to a smoother, more vibrant complexion.
