This time of year, for breakfast every day, I make a green smoothie with fresh greens from my garden, grapefruit juice, and bananas. The greens that I use are high in natural pigments: anthocyanins, xanthophylls, etc. These compounds have strong natural anti-inflammatory properties, and help prevent or cure all kinds of illnesses. I make enough to fill 3 pint glasses and drink all of it.
Not coincidentally, I am quite healthy. Heck, my allergies have largely disappeared.
These varieties of greens are hardy down to at least 23 degrees, so I'll be enjoying this stuff well into December. Raising a large, year-round garden is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
