Parsley is full of potassium, so I thought wow that should be great in a smoothie. Wrong! (LOL) fruit & parsley did not mix. (I'm drinking it anyway)

It's the only home made smoothie I have had to throw out. I just couldn't force myself to drink it. Yuck! Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food - Hippocrates.

(I'm drinking it anyway) Marge, Well cookie, those parsles do go a long way, don't they? I tiny sprig I guess you suggest for the future? That way she won't override the fruits! If it helps, here is a simple green drink recipe that you could splash a parsley or 2 into: Green Drink Resurrection Salud!

I tried it the other day, and it's true. However, for best results I think you need to have a Vitamix to really "cream" that broccoli and make it smooth. My regular old blender left a lot of tiny little chunks.
