I love to make this asparagus smoothie with strawberries when it’s hot outside and I need a quick refreshment! It’s super easy, healthy and delicious!
Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:
Asparagus is a good low-calorie source of folate and vitamins A and C. Its stalks are high in fiber and a useful vegetable source of protein. Gout sufferers may be advised to forgo asparagus because it contains purines, substances that can precipitate a painful attack of the disease. Having the strawberries added to the shake gives a fruity delightful taste to the shake!
