I kind of feel like that's a lost opportunity because if you're going to add all of that sweetness, but not include some vegetables in there, then you're sort of missing out on the chance to like make this more healthy and add more variety to it. And then other stuff that I like to put in there. So we always put broccoli sprouts into our smoothies.

And the beauty of broccoli sprouts is that like broccoli contains glucosinolates that are really thought to protect us from cancer. And that's what we get from cruciferous vegetables in general.

Dr. Jed, exactly. Yeah, Jed Fahey. So I like to get broccoli sprouts because they contain 50 to 100 times more sulforaphane than you're going to get from adult mature broccoli.
