red fruits, their flavor is so subtle that it’s often difficult to detect. You can buy them online and at health food stores, either alone or in combinations with one another. If you find yourself running out of refrigerator room for fresh greens or want a more convenient way to add more green to your red smoothies, these power boosters can help. Besides these boosters, there are lots of wonderful fresh greens to try! If you have a garden, even a small contain- er-based one, you can grow them yourself, adding even more freshness and nutritional value. Let’s take a look: Arugula – With a zippy, almost peppery taste, arugula is an outstanding source of vitamins A, C, and K, along with folic acid. It’s a great choice for brain and bone health. Beet Greens – Adding fresh beets to your red smoothie gives it a warm, earthy taste. Why not take it a step fur- ther and add the greens too? Rich in potassium (vitamin K), they give your immune system a boost while provid- ing some protection against Alzheimer’s and promoting healthy vision. Bok Choi – This crunchy, mild-tasting Chinese cabbage is loaded with calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Chard – Also known as Swiss chard, this leafy vegetable has long fibers that help cleanse the digestive system while providing some protection against cancer.
