I’m not shy when it comes to trying new ingredients in my smoothies. Fortunately, my husband indulges my creativity; he’s a real sport. On my first pass, some of my creations can taste a little too earthy. Put too many sprouts in your smoothie, for example, and it will take on an overwhelmingly grassy flavor. Used in moderation, however, and sprouts are an absolute delight. They provide a steady year-round source of vitamins and a high concentration of youth-supporting enzymes. Enzymes boost your body’s rejuvenation and help fight tired skin and wrinkles.
