Green Smoothie Goodness

Smoothies are a great opportunity to increase your green leafy vegetable intake. Dark leafy greens are one of, if not the most energizing and nourishing way to start your day. The smoothie should be 75% greens, with the fruit used only to help sweeten it (never a fruit only smoothie.) – 25% of the smoothie.

Drink these green smoothies daily, and watch your energy skyrocket!
