Health benefits:
- Watercress tops the list of fruits and vegetables with the most nutrient density score! This not so popular leafy green vegetable is amazingly healthy and packed with nutrients.
- Watercress has more vitamin C than oranges, more vitamin E than broccoli, more calcium than whole milk and more iron than spinach.
- Exceptionally high levels of Beta-carotene.
- High level of dietary nitrate - lower blood pressure.
- Possible benefits of treating diabetes and preventing cancer
This looks and sounds amazing! I've never had watercress in a smoothie before but this makes me want to try it!

Hi Camille, this was the first time for me too! Don't be too generous with watercress though - it has a rather sharp taste and can easily overpower the rest of the ingredients :-)
