Morning on my side of the world and that means green smoothie time. Though this one might sound a bit strange to you with the broccolini and celery. It actually tastes super delicious.
Broccolini is a natural hybrid of broccoli. It has smaller florets and longer, thin stalks. It is a cross between broccoli and Chinese broccoli (aka Chinese kale). Broccolini has a milder, sweeter taste than broccoli but has similar nutritional benefits.
Just as broccoli, broccolini contains sulforaphane, indoles, and isothiocyanates which are powerful antioxidants that exhibit anticancer, anti-diabetic and anti-microbial properties. Furthermore, both broccoli and broccolini are a great source of vitamin A, C, and K.
