About that romaine lettuce..., don't be fooled into thinking lettuce does not have much of a nutritional punch, especially romaine; it is a powerhouse. We're talkin' calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron as well as vitamins A, C and B.
Quick Smoothie Tips:
- Keep peeled frozen bananas in the freezer to use in a flash
- Pre-wash your lettuce and store in the fridge, ready to go
The original recipe is from Carol Alts book "the RAW 50". It is one of my favorite resources for new raw, healthy, beauty food recipes. Enjoy!
