If you dig the peppery, spicy flavor of arugula then you’re going to love this smoothie. If you’re not a fan of arugula then I suggest finding another healthy smoothie to kick-start your day with.
Arugula is one of my favorite greens. I get excited like a kid in a candy store when it’s available through my local CSA. I typically combine arugula with other greens to make a spicy salad mix, and occasionally toss it into my blender to spice up my smoothie.
Besides being decidedly delicious, arugula offers some fantastic health benefits.
Tired of the same old spinach or kale green smoothie? Mix things up with arugula. Arugula has a strong bitter or almost peppery taste, a result of the alkaloids, or plant medicine it contains.
