Adding broccoli to a smoothie is a nutritious and delicious way to obtain the important vitamins and minerals your body needs. In accordance with research conducted by the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition," CNN Health proclaimed broccoli as the vegetable with the most health benefits. One serving of broccoli provides a good source of calcium and all of your daily requirements of vitamin C and K. The natural sugars and citrus found in the fruit blended into the smoothie disguise the bitterness of the broccoli and other vegetables in the recipe.
