The Live Green Smoothie Diet

A Great Way To Use Leftovers

I picked up a gorgeous, giant, rich green head of Savoy Cabbage last night and made one of my favorite recipes, a chopped salad made with tomatoes, almond butter, onion, and olive oil, which I enjoyed like a salsa for dinner. But still, even after making an enormous batch of the salad, I was left with a gigantic pile of cabbage leaves. And this is the reality of anyone’s kitchen — how to make productive and enjoyable use of everything fresh in your kitchen, so nothing ever goes to waste!

For my salad, I tend to use the delicate inner leaves of the cabbage, leaving all the large green outer leaves untouched, as well as the innermost, tightly wrapped core… and this is a delicious, energizing, and digestion-enhancing, tummy-soothing way to use up the whole cabbage! You could use an entire small head of cabbage, or just the sizable remainder after using the inner leaves for a recipe of our own.

Delicious, Zesty Pick-Me-Up That’s Great For Digestion!

This smoothie is actually made of fresh juices, which are then blended up with ice to make a kind of “shake”, not as thick as a slushie or a sorbet. It is slightly spicy from the cabbage, and extremely zesty and perkifying because it’s made with juiced whole lemon. It’s sweet, filled with flavor, is a gorgeous shade of almost fluorescent spring-green… and I drank almost the entire batch (until my oldest son absconded with the last glass).

That and my salad made up a filling and absolutely delicious dinner combo, which made me feel just wonderful afterwards. Long live the healthful and tasty benefits of Savoy Cabbage!
