3 Great Broccoli Smoothies

Since the announcement that broccoli is the new superfood to fight heart disease, we decided that it was time to find some tasty broccoli smoothies to add to our recipe collection. Here they are:

Traditional Broccoli and Cabbage Smoothie

This smoothie is a real vege bonanza, with cabbage and celery to add to the healthy green vegetables.

  • 2 cups of chopped raw broccoli
  • 1/2 cup of chopped raw cabbage leaf
  • 6 inch of chopped celery
  • 3/4 cup of apple juice (or 21 apple, cored and peeled).

Add all the ingredients into a smoothie blender and whizz them up. Add water if required.

Broccoli and Grape Smoothie

  • 1 cup of chopped raw broccoli
  • 1 cup of seedless grapes
  • crushed ice

The ice is optional if you want a fresher, cooler taste. Blend and drink.

Broccoli, Leek and Spinach Smoothie

  • 2 cups of chopped raw broccoli
  • 2 cups of steamed leeks (steam for about 9 minutes)
  • 1 cup of fresh raw spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup of fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder

Blend all the ingredients and drink. This smoothie also acts as a great energy drink, as ll the vegetables will quickly replenish glycogen in the muscles after training.
