Book excerpt: This is a guide on identifying edible weeds, their nutritional properties, and how to incorporate them, along with ripe seasonal fruit and other leafy greens, into a delicious, healthy superfood smoothie! Why Are Green Smoothies So Beneficial For Your Health? You've heard the advice to eat 5+ servings of fruit and vegetables a day, but is this really enough? From my research I have learned that we need two big handfuls of leafy greens a day to fully nourish our bodies. But who wants to munch through that much salad?! By adding leafy greens and edible weeds to a smoothie, you're getting many more nutrients in a delicious drink that is much easier for your body to digest than a salad or cooked vegetables.
