Greener Pastures Smoothie
Chef Seamus Mullen shared his recipe for this parsley, kale, and berry smoothie in bonappetit.com (April 2012). Chef Mullen suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, and with a bit of research he has found that parsley contains anti-immflamatory properties, which has aided in relieving the soreness in his hands. By adding parsley to dishes, you are giving a boost to your immune system, which can aid in the defense against many illnesses. Kale, is loaded with fiber, iron, vitamin K, C, A and calcium.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (packed) flat-leaf parsley
4 large kale leaves (center ribs removed)
1 cup frozen organic berries (do not thaw)
1 sliced banana
1 tsp ground flaxseed
Puree all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Add water if too thick.
That’s it!
