Welcome to this week’s #notjustagarnish recipe! With temps heating up this July, there’s nothing more refreshing than a smoothie…so we made one! This frozen berry-sunflower concoction has a beautiful fruity flavor with just a hint of that micro sunflower you know and love.

Sunflower shoots are one of our favorite microgreens because of their big flavor and nutty crunch. Beyond the amazing taste, they’re jam-packed with fiber, protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B complex, C, D and E. They also contain calcium, phosphorous, iron, iodine, potassium, magnesium and the trace elements zinc, manganese, copper and chromium - wow!
