I mean how much difference could that make??? Well it did make a difference. I need to cut this stuff with some hard flavour. Im thinking hot sauce of some kind right now. It is important as I have a dozen bags of the greens in my freezer.

Put a bit of butter and/or olive oil in a frying pan and throw in parsley leaves and tender stems. Maybe sprinkle a bit of salt on it. It gets a bit crispy and develops a delicious nutty flavor, very different from raw parsley. It would also be good sprinkled on a salad as you would sunflower seeds, bacon bits, or croutons.

(23,272 posts)Can you add any other veggies like carrots, celery, beets, spinach and tomatoes to the veggies you already have? I'm wondering if you need more vegetable tastes and textures to "help" your smoothie as well.
Here's a recipe for a "homemade" V8 juice I've made before which I presume could be modified to help make tastier smoothies...
