Zucchini contributes a respectable bit of protein to this Live Green Smoothie, accounting for its its creamy texture (high-protein foods like goji berries, hemp seeds, and broccoli are well-known for contributing creaminess to smoothies).

In addition, if you peel your Zucchini, it adds no taste to your LGS (and for you weight-conscious folk, hardly any calories!) so the fruit you use to sweeten it (and the greens you pick — in this case, I’ve used parsley) can really shine through.

Zucchini has some decent health benefits as well. And it’s cheap. So… keep some baby zucchinis your fridge and start tossing them into your smoothies now & then!

I am sooooo impressed with what I’m discovering about the uses of zucchini when it comes to raw, living recipes! It has such a great bland, creamy backdrop, which is great for so many things! I plan on a lot of continued experimentation.

Fire up that Z garden, chica! :D
