Tropical Vitamin C Whey Protein Smoothie Recipe

I tend to believe that a lot of times we just overlook simple vitamins and minerals that we need to give our body and the cornerstone being Vitamin C. It probably is the easiest to get because it’s in almost every fruit known to man but you really do need to make sure you’re getting enough of it.

Why is Vitamin C so important?

The Anfas Organization says, “Vitamin C is responsible for helping the body absorb iron, and it has also been linked with the prevention of disease and the delaying of aging because Vitamin C destroys free radicals, which are the molecules that are most commonly associated with cell damage and signs of aging. Vitamin C provides numerous health benefits, and promotes overall excellent health for the entire body.”

So you see it really is something you need to have more often than not and to be quite honest fruits containing vitamin C are often the most delicious which is why I have this…
