Basil and Vitamin K
Although the greens blended into green smoothies offer vitamin K,
the added benefit of using basil can be quite astounding. While
many greens servings may offer a healthy helping of Vitamin K,
just 2 teaspoons (or 3 grams) of basil can account for 60 percent
of your RDA of vitamin K. You might fulfill, or even surpass, your
recommended amount of vitamin K by just mixing the greens and
basil in one smoothie!
