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 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, an afternoon snack, or as a pre and post workout smoothie, and made 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) & 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, 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 & ACAI

Cabbage is a member of the cruciferous family, which is also populated by 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, enjoyed by the ancient Romans 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.

  1. Can frozen acai be used instead of juice? I imagine more liquid would be needed, but I prefer whole food rather than just juice. Thanks for your recipes! I’m bound to try it either way!

    1. Yes absolutely! I love using frozen acai to make a smoothie bowl as well! If you add more liquid you should be fine for a nice smoothie. Hope you enjoy it Amanda! ~Tarashaun

    I tried this and really liked it. I’m having trouble with arthritis so I’m hoping this will help 🙂

  3. Liked it a lot but too sweet for me. I see Acai has 23 gr of sugar! Is it worth the antixidents for sll the sugar? And I used plain greek yogurt rather than flavored. Also, I heard that full fat dairy is healthier than non fat.

  4. 5 stars
    Never tried cabbage in my smoothies before but I will definitely use it now! Was so good my family made me make extras!
