Grape Smoothie
Smoothies come in all flavors—orange, cherry, strawberry and mango, to name a few. But did you know that grapes work equally as well in smoothies? Grapes are high in vitamin C and potassium. The skins contain resveratrol, the healthy substance found in red wine. Loaded with milk and yogurt, this smoothie delivers 250mg of calcium per serving, a great way to start the day.

I was reading your recipe for the Grape Smoothie
(12-10-09) and noticed that the recipe says that grapes are high in potassium. This is wrong but easily mistaken. Grapes are high in vitamin K, not the mineral Potassium. The symbol for Potassium is K so I can see why the mistake was made. I love your recipes!
