Radish Greens Smoothie

Day 30

In my new quest to mix up my greens I used Radish Greens in my smoothie today! Yes I said Radish GREENS. We are more accustomed to eating just the red root part of the radish but in doing so we are missing out on so many great vitamins and minerals. Radish greens contains 6 times the Vitamin C of the root and are also higher in calcium and protein than the root. These vegetable greens are Cruciferous which means they are part of the Cabbage family. Radish greens also possess cancer-protecting properties and are high in sulfur which helps support the digestive system. Radish Greens also contain properties that are beneficial for symptoms of colds, flu, fevers and other respiratory problems. This smoothie came out so awesome (and the color a gorgeous light mint green) that I wrote it down quickly before I forgot it! I think this smoothie would be perfect for spring and summer because it is so light and cooling.

Tonight I listened to the David Wolfe interview from the Raw Mom Summit Interviews. Best $97 I ever spent. I am grateful for his brilliant mind.
