Im sorry if you have already covered this but I notice you use romaine in most of your green smoothies. I typically use spinach and kale. Does romaine pack a bigger nutritional punch than spinach? Thanks! This looks fantastic!
Hey Renae,
Romaine lettuce in a lot of my green smoothies for “newbies”. It does contain a lot of nutrients. Romaine or Cos Lettuce is high in water content, low in calories, and an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C and folate. It contains vital minerals and phytonutrients that protect against oxidation. It is also a very good source of dietary fibre. One of the greatest things about romaine lettuce if you live in the U.S, is that most of the domestic supply comes from California, and is available all year round. That is another reason I use it a lot
But it can’t compare with kale and spinach.
They are LOADED with nutrients, and I use them in a lot in smoothies on this website and my weekly life too.
The only thing I will say about spinach is that you do not want to be consuming vast amounts every day because of the oxalic acid.
It is very important to rotate your greens every day, in order to get a balanced nutritional profile in your diet.
Typically, kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, radish greens, carrot greens, beet greens, dandelion greens, parsley, cilantro, bok choy are in my weekly rotation. But I do use many other greens too. It depends what is organic and in season. I hope this helps.
LOL! Pleasure! SO glad you are enjoying the recipes.
