A few years back I got really into drinking smoothies every morning as a way to make sure I had something in my “tank” before I left for work. I’ve tried smoothies based on hemp milk and cashew milk, but this one, based on vegetables commonly grown in Norway, is my favorite.
This recipe offers a great opportunity to use as many organic fruits and vegetables as you can, since many of the ingredients are on the so-called “Dirty Dozen” list of foods with the highest pesticide loads.
