Three Unusual Smoothies That Have It All

Raspberries with Brussels sprouts – should that taste good? However! In these three unusual smoothie recipes, different types of cabbage provide an extra portion of nutrients . It's worth experimenting because these drinks not only get your body ready for spring, but also taste wonderfully refreshing.

Brussels sprouts, savoy cabbage, kale - these vegetables are often extremely unpopular, especially among children, and many cannot get used to them until adulthood. But if you give cabbage a wide berth, you're missing out on a lot.

Brussels sprouts, for example, contain twice as much vitamin C as lemons - perfect for supporting the immune system in the winter months. It is also rich in potassium and iron , which are particularly well absorbed by the body when combined with vitamin C. And there's a lot more to be said for Brussels sprouts - not least that they're easy to freeze and use in the summer.

Often it simply depends on the method of preparation whether Brussels sprouts and their relatives can show what they are made of. Under no circumstances should the vegetables be overcooked, as this not only affects their taste but also their nutritional content. However, if you enjoy cabbage blanched or raw , you get a full portion of both.
