Raw Vegan Strawberry Lemonade Sprouted Green Smoothie

Are you including sprouts in your diet? Sprouts are one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet! They are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes. They are LIVING foods that CONTINUE to grow in nutrients after you harvest them. Once you pick your sprouts and refrigerate them, their vitamin content actually increases as they slowly keep growing! This is very different from many fruits and vegetables which start losing their vitamin content as soon as they’re picked and are often shipped all over the world and stored in warehouses for months before they reach stores!

You can easily make sprouts yourself at home too! Check out my How To Sprout page for quick easy steps on sprouting. I include sprouts in my diet every week and include them in salads, in wraps, and in green smoothies. But when I am travelling, I always carry the Sprout Living freeze-dried sprout mixes and blender with me. This is a quick easy way for me to get my daily dose of live enzymatically active foods in my body. 

These dried sprout powders are enzymatically active, raw, organic, vegan powders made from the highest quality sprouts and freeze dried. I have used the broccoli and kale sprout mix in this recipe. But the bean sprout mix is fantastic too! Sprouts are bursting with nutrients, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, proteins, fats, phytochemicals, enzymes, water and chlorophyll. They are a PERFECT food. Sprouts deliver the nutrients and enzymes in a form that is easily assimilated and digested. In fact, sprouts improve the efficiency of digestion. 

The best thing about these sprouts for "greenphobes?" They are practically tasteless in small quantities. I have included one tablespoon in this recipe, along with the romaine lettuce, and you would NEVER know the greens were in there. This smoothie tastes just like a delicious sweet strawberry lemonade. This is a fantastic way to get sprouts and greens into your children. It is a fantastic drink to enjoy outside by the pool, or for that family BBQ. Trust me, NOBODY will ever know there are sprouts in this drink. It is DEEEELISH!
