Found this smoothie recipe in my "Vegan Comfort Foods" cookbook by Alicia Simpson. She says " Broccolini is a hybrid of broccoli and Chinese kale, offering the best of both worlds. This smoothie is incredibly detoxifying, which is why it's the only smoothie that is broken up into two 8 oz smoothies instead of one 16 oz...Broccolini has a specialaffinity for breaking up mucus. Drink this smoothie slowly until you get used to it; feel free to store it in the refrigerator, and sip it throughout the day.
I usually have some issues with mucus in the spring, related to allergies, so although it is now almost August, I wanted to add this post so I can look it up later! Maybe we can grow some ourselves, I will look into it...
Here is the smoothie recipe:
1 cup broccolini florets
1 c frozen tropical fruit mix (papaya, pineapple, mango)
1 kiwi, peeled and cut into thick slices
3/4 cup fresh pear juice
2/3 Medjool dates, seeds removed (0h my gosh I have been buying organic fresh dates from the co-op, I never knew they could taste soooo good!)
Anyway, can't wait to get our new Vitamix!!! (we are waiting for a sale as they are $450 to $600!
