How to make Hempty Dance Smoothie Recipe - Another kid-friendly smoothie, this one is sweetened with whole apple and fresh apple juice. Apple polyphenols help prevent spikes in blood sugar and quercetin, a flavonoid abundant in apples, is excellent for warding off seasonal allergies. Avocado adds a creamy texture to this nutrient powerhouse and offers more potassium, ounce for ounce, than banana. Kale is rich in calcium and contains more of this essential mineral per calorie than dairy milk! And parsley contains a unique antioxidant, luteolin, that finds and destroys free radicals in the body. The flavor is so sweet and refreshing, you just might bust out in a little dance!
