Green Smoothie with Sauerkraut juice

April 9, 2016

4.0

This is what I call my serious and savoury green smoothie, actually tastes a lot like a green soup, cold if you use cold water and warm if you use hot water.
When you first start on Sauerkraut juice make only about half the recipe and share it with somebody else. Sauerkraut juice is full of good probiotics, but can have a strong reaction on your digestive system when you first start taking it.
Also, don’t be scared about making this and giving it a go, it sounds much more intense than it actually is ?
Go easy on strong tasting weeds and greens like dandelion, plantain and kale for the beginning and use more of the softer tasting varieties like lettuce, cos lettuce and baby spinach.
