It’s rhubarb season and, if you visit your local farmer’s market right now, I’m sure you will find plenty of this antioxidant-rich vegetable there. My last visit to our local market showcased some fresh and beautiful rhubarb. Morning smoothies are a daily ritual in our home. My three-year-old helps make them, while my 18-month-old tugs at my leg in anxious anticipation. Smoothies are a delicious and easy way to get in your daily fruits and vegetables. Rhubarb was the perfect choice for this dessert-style smoothie because it provides a good source of vitamin C, calcium, and fiber. This smoothie is light and frothy, while offering the perfect balance of tart and sweet.
