Green Dream Smoothie

I know it may sound strange to some, but I love to juice ingredients that are often found in salads. Romaine (also known as cos) has deep green, long leaves and is generally the most nutrient dense lettuce. It is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2. It is also a fantastic source of folic acid, manganese and chromium. Snap peas also provide vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, folic acid and potassium.
