Why Not Cauliflower Smoothie

Cauliflower is not the first thing that comes to mind when choosing ingredients for a smoothie. However, why not try it? Cauliflower provides allicin, an important compound that reduces the risk of stroke and heart disease while detoxifying the blood and liver. With abilities like that, this veggie is a must-have in any disease-preventing diet.
