This recipe is so easy to make. It comes together in just a few minutes and is fresh, creamy and delicious. It is perfect for when spring starts to show its beautiful flowers then the rains and cold comes back. 

The broccoli and arugula both provide antioxidants that protect the skin from UV rays and feed the cells that create collagen for strength and elasticity. 

Be sure to blend well for the most creaminess.
