This fabulous smoothies combines the power of purple in a refreshing combination. Perfect way to jump start your day. I love it’s pureness and of course I love it’s color!
After spotting this on Pioneer Woman I knew I needed to try red cabbage in my smoothie. To be honest I wondered if I would truly like it. I mean seriously….it’s cabbage in a smoothie. What the heck would that taste like?!
But to my delight and surprise the cabbage taste is masked well by all the pleasing fruits. Not that cabbage is a bad thing. It’s certainly not. I just didn’t know that I’d like that flavor for breakfast. If you know what I mean.
But it’s perfect. Veggies for goodness. Fresh berries for sweetness. And now I know you’re dying to try it! Look at those pretty colors. Irresistible I tell you!
Til we meet and eat again,
