This Peachy Sea Buckthorn Smoothie is a great example of nutrient integration in action! It features iron-rich dried apricots, hemp seeds, oats combined with super vitamin C-rich sea buckthorn juice. It also celebrates the summer season’s finest peaches, ginger, maca, and turmeric (and if it’s the middle of winter, these things often live in my freezer / pantry). I hope you enjoy it and reap the benefits of all that bioavailable iron!
