The Power of Red (red kale, red grapes and bing cherry green smoothie)

Lately I’ve been craving more fruit in my diet, which is surprising since I usually have two green smoothies a day and in between that I have some fruit as a snack. I guess my body is asking for more of what it needs.

I have always loved red grapes and bing cherries, but one day while cutting up some cherries for my son, I decided to combine the two with red kale and I have to tell you, I really enjoyed the change from a sweet smoothie. The tart flavor of the smoothie really excited my taste buds.

Both red grapes and bing cherries contain powerful, protective phytochemicals called flavonoids. Flavonoids found in fruits and vegetables are also called bioflavonoids, which act as antioxidants, to protect your healthy cells from free radical damage.
