Broccoli Sprout Smoothie with Apple and Celery

If the thought of raw broccoli in your smoothie has you running in the opposite direction, wait just a minute. I won’t try to convince you of its mighty healthy powers. I will just tell you a secret: you can hide your broccoli in your smoothie. Start with just a bit and then gradually increase the amount to 1 cup of broccoli per serving/smoothie.

Why 1 cup? This amount will give you amazing antioxidant benefits: about twice the daily recommended amount of vitamin C and half of vitamin A. It will also give you plenty of calcium, iron, fiber, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, and magnesium ( like kale smoothie for weight loss with loquat ). Impressed yet?

Hide your raw broccoli in your smoothie because your broccoli hides A LOT of vitamins and minerals within it. Make it a regular habit and it will help you detoxify your body, helping it to be healthy and to fight infection and disease.

My sweet tooth is not that sweet when it comes to smoothies. I much rather prefer a lemony taste, so you might want to taste after blending and add a bit more honey/agave/maple syrup.
