PURPLE LOVE ~ ACAI RED CABBAGE CANCER FIGHTING SMOOTHIE

This Red Cabbage Acai Cancer Fighting smoothie is a personal favorite of Blender Babes AND all of our friends.

Like the popular cabbage patch kid from the 80s, this smoothie is MADE for kids!

It’s a perfect (and TASTELESS) way to sneak in a really powerful ingredient. An ingredient that many children AND adults DO NOT eat enough of – cabbage!

Cabbage is the 3rd BEST FOOD for helping to prevent cancer.  Dr. Weil thinks there’s no limit to how much we can eat cabbage.

This cancer fighting, super nutritious smoothie is perfect for breakfast. It’s also a great afternoon snack, or a pre and post workout smoothie. You can male it easily in a high powered blender.

The slightly bitter flavor of purple/red cabbage is masked perfectly by antioxidant rich acai juice. We LOVE the Sambazon brand of Acai. Another ingredient that helps mask the flavor of cabbage is banana.

We used strawberries (stems on!) in our recipe, but feel free to replace with any berry in the fridge or freezer.

Same goes for yogurt.  We love blueberry yogurt with it, but strawberry and mixed berry are just as good.

For a dairy free smoothie, try soy or coconut yogurt or for a high protein boost. And use a milk substitute such as new coat pant almond milk or coconut milk with a scoop of plant based protein powder.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CABBAGE

Cabbage is a member of the cruciferous family, like broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, and other vegetables whose leaves grow at right angles to each other, forming a cross (crucifer).

It is one of the oldest cultivated vegetables. The ancient Romans enjoyed it both as food and as a medicine to treat wounds, colic, and to prevent plague.

There are more than 400 varieties, which although differ somewhat in nutritional value, they all provide healthy levels of vitamin C and various phytonutrients, including flavonoids, indoles, and sulforaphane.

The indoles in cabbage may help prevent breast cancer, and sulforaphane and incolde-3-carbinol have been shown to help the liver rid itself of toxins and to prevent cancer.

Acai has more antioxidants than any other fruit. It is one of the only berries that has naturally occurring Omega fatty acids in high doses. Acai direct from the Amazon has numerous health benefits, especially if you include it in your normal routine.
