Spinach
There are almost too many nutrients in Spinach to count! It’s an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, folate, magnesium, iron, copper, B2, B6, and vitamin E. And the payoff is clearer skin, improved eyesight, regulated blood pressure, increased muscle strength, and prevention of age-related macular degeneration. Incorporating spinach into your diet regularly is kind of a no-brainer.
Kale
All kale the queen! This trending green is e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e these days. And a good thing, too: While kale varietals come in many shapes, sizes what all forms of this great leafy veg have it common is aiding in digestion because it’s packed full of fiber. Plus, it’s chock full of vitamins and minerals, including iron, vitamin a, c and k, antioxidants, calcium, and more, so is deserving of a prominent place in your diet.
Alfalfa
It doesn’t get cuter than alfalfa! These little sprouts pack a nutritious punch and are easy to toss on salads, in sandwiches, or straight in your mouth. Alfalfa has been associated with reducing the risk of breast cancer, improving digestion, and protecting overall heart health.
