BenBella's Best of Plant-Based Eating

Parsley is another powerhouse green. It’s loaded with iron and vitamins C and K. Just half a cup of parsley contains 1.9 mg of iron. Parsley is great for detoxifying your liver and kidneys. It has a distinctive flavor, however, so I recommend using a small amount. This recipe only calls for half a cup, but I have used one cup in some green smoothie recipes. I would not recommend using any more than one cup of parsley in a green smoothie.
