I live in eastern europe, and I am having trouble finding GREENS
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

My GREEN options are:

non organic spinach in a plastic bag imported from Italy
parsley
green cabbage
chlorella in a powder

that's it!

if I buy a large head of purple cabbage, would that be considered a GREEN for a green smoothie?

Does anybody have any green suggestions?

Could you grow your own when weather permits? Greens are very eaasy to grow, and they don't need a lot of space.
And you can always grow lots and lots of sprouts indoors in your kitchen. **
good luck

sprouts might be your fast easy choice smiling smiley

you can also grow salad greens on windowsills in small pots ... you wont get lots but they make a nice treat smiling smiley

you can also go full scale indoor growing using grow lights and look into hydroponics or indoor dirt growing systems / techniques smiling smiley

but sprouts are good fast and cheap smiling smiley

Yes, and well, green (chlorophyll) is good (and parsley certainly qualifies),
but it seems to me the idea of a green smoothie is to get a more nutrient dense
drink using vegetables.... if that is true, then a purple or green cabbage
smoothie, or carrot, squash etc of any color should be very healthy,IMO.... some
say it is very good to eat fruits and vegetables of various colors (pigments)..

As all have already said: sprouts, sprouts, sprouts! Also, depending on where you are, consider getting a wild edible plants guide and foraging for things like nettles, sorrel, dandelion, and some lettuces out in the countryside(and mushrooms, while you are at it). Good luck!
