- The top 5 Microgreens for smoothies 🌱🥤
The top 5 Microgreens for smoothies 🌱🥤
We drink smoothies every single day. 🥤
It’s a quick easy way to put all the nutrition I want to get, in a way that I can drink quick or take on the go. 🏎️
We are almost never home these days, and a smoothie really helps make sure we stay on track. We’ve tested out a lot of microgreens through the years, and these are the ones I LOVE to add to my smoothies because of their nutrition, and mild flavor.
Broccoli. 🥦
Amazing Anti-Inflammatory, loaded with vitamins and Minerals, and VERY mild flavoring.
Broccoli is the reason Spira Farms exists, we have cancer, and wanted to do something about it. This is almost ALWAYS in our smoothies to get our fix of sulforaphane.
Red Acre Cabbage. 🥬
Cabbage is INCREDIBLE for your gut health. It has been shown that it helps heal ulcers faster through its infamous ‘vitamin u’.
I have IBS, so anything that helps keep me in balance is a huge plus. Cabbage is a huge win for me.
Sunflower. 🌻
Sunflower microgreens are packed with so many incredible vitamins and minerals. The standout feature on this plant is its protein, which is not common amongst leafy greens. Love the sunnies, they keep us glowing.
The Honorable Mentions 🏆
Above are my favorite 3. They have a lot of the qualities I personally want, and especially the flavor that I want. That doesn’t mean they fit the bill across the board and cover everything we need.
Below are the microgreens that are amazing for what they do, but not my preference in my smoothies. We’ve gotten feedback from many others that they add these to their smoothies, so maybe it’ll be your thing too!
Peas.
Peas are awesome for their protein, vitamins, minerals and especially known for being very rich in Vitamin B.
The amount of Vitamin B in peas should definitely make them apart of your daily routine. I just personally do not add these to my smoothies as it doesn’t vibe well with the flavors I like.
Cilantro.
Is amazing at pulling heavy metals out our body as well as having tons of vitamins and minerals. In its microgreen form, it packs a lot of flavor. Amazing on tacos, and many do put them in their smoothies but not my preference!
Beet.
Beet is almost a #4 on our list, I definitely add these guys to our smoothies regularly. Amazing for their antioxidants. They are in the honorable mentions column because they can have a pretty strong flavor if you add too much. I definitely portion these a bit smaller in smoothies to keep the flavors on the fruity side.
