Healthy Recipes || Adding Asparagus to Smoothies!
Recently, I've been experimenting with adding asparagus to my smoothies. Why? Well asparagus is loaded with more nutrients than I've seen in most other vegetables. One cup of raw asparagus contains:
20% DV Vitamin A
13% DV Vitamin C
16% DV Iron
70% DV Vitamin K
17% DV Folate
11% Dietary Fiber
13% Thiamin
11% Riboflavin
11% Manganese

The recipes that I did find online either added sweeteners (e.g., tablespoons of honey, vanilla) or just did not taste that great. So after a couple of trials and errors of my own, I came up with this delicious recipe that, not only disguises the unpleasant taste of raw asparagus, but also adds a bunch of other nutrients.
Ingredients:
1 banana
1/2 cup blackberries
2 cups almond milk
2-3 asparagus stalks (bump it up to 4-5 if you are brave enough)
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
Note: my fruits and vegetables are usually frozen after purchasing, but you can use fresh ones if you want and just toss in some ice for more of a smoothie texture.
Directions:
Just blend all the ingredients together and enjoy!
