To start the week on good tracks, here’s a drink that might surprise you a bit. Naturally packed with iron, vitamin C, K, and antioxidants, fresh parsley is good for you, especially if you enjoy it as a green smoothie. If the distinctive, pungent flavor of parsley is a bit too much for you, you can combine it with non-bitter greens like fresh baby spinach or romaine and green leaf lettuce. Happy Blending!
