GREEN SPROUTS SMOOTHIE SHAKE RECIPE
This vegan green sprouts smoothie shake recipe is a nutrition powerhouse made with several superfoods and made easily in a high speed blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec.
You can DIY grow your sprouts at home! It's actually pretty simple.
My husband bought a sprouting kit and is in charge of the sprout making. 🙂 I love throwing the sprouts on sandwiches, in salads and of course in my smoothies.
The chia seeds can be soaked in water, milk, fruit/vegetable juice or any other liquid you would like to try.
The longer they soak, the more the health benefit.
This amazing new super-food has a significant amount of fiber, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, protein, iron, and calcium.

SPROUTS HEALTH BENEFITS
Sprouts are considered as wonder food.
They rank as the freshest and most nutritious of all vegetables available to the human diet.
By a process of natural transmutation, sprouted food acquires vastly improved digestibility and nutritional qualities when compared to non-sprouted embryo from which it derives.
Sprouted foods have been part of the diet of many ancient races for thousands of years.
Even to this day, the Chinese retain their fame for delicious mung bean sprouts. Sprouts provide all essential vitamins and minerals.
They should form a vital component of our diet. Sprouting requires no constant care but only an occasional sprinkling of water.
