Collard Greens – Known for their ability to promote healthy cholesterol levels, collard greens have a zippy taste that makes them ideal for adding to savory smoothies. Dandelion Greens – If you can get them, organic dande- lion greens make a wonderful addition to your cleansing smoothies. They act as a mild laxative, and they provide plenty of vitamin A and potassium. Kale – With its lovely, ruffled leaves, kale makes a beautiful addition to your stash of greens. It’s more than just another pretty plant though! This powerhouse is loaded with vitamins A and C, plus potassium and more. Lettuce – Available in a mind-boggling array of varieties, lettuce contains lots of folic acid, plus plenty of vitamins and minerals. If you’re looking for a “starter green” to add to your red smoothies, make it lettuce. Its taste is so mild you won’t even notice it! Parsley – Another green that’s great for savory smooth- ies rather than sweet ones, parsley helps to regulate blood sugar, and it contains plenty of vitamins, minerals and anti- oxidants that help slow down the aging process. Spinach – Mild-tasting and packed with omega-3s, calcium, iron, and magnesium, spinach makes a nutritious addition to any smoothie. It’s just as mild-tasting as lettuce, making it a good “first time” green to add to your red fruits. Red Smoothie Detox Factor | Elizabeth Swann Miller [email protected] 53
