Notes
Green smoothies are a quick and easy way to boost your nutrient intake each day. Feel free to substitute the greens and fruit in this recipe with whatever is in season and always use organic produce whenever possible. Humble dark leafy greens are some of nature’s most potent superfoods. Superfoods are foods that naturally contain a high amount of nutrients. Kale for example is regarded as “the queen of the greens” because it is very low in calories, but is rich in fibre, iron, protein and calcium.
