One of my favourite stands at our greenmarket is one that specializes in microgreens. When buying, the sprouts are clipped from the soil right in front of you, as fresh as possible. This past Saturday the nice microgreens grower had a box of beautiful local grapefruits with him and was kind enough to share his seasonal breakfast recipe. He said that this refreshing smoothie keeps him full until lunch.
