Here are just a few of the health benefits of the ingredients: Spinach and pomegranates are rich in antioxidants, almonds are high in fiber and protein and improve brainpower and all are heart healthy. Apple Cider Vinegar (along with pomegranates and almonds) reduce bad cholesterol, as does Agave nectar (which has many other benefits as it has low glycemic impact, and has anti-inflammatory & immune system boosting capabilities).
