Nutritional choices only work when they taste great, and that’s where this green smoothie comes in. Completely refreshing, and absolutely delicious, it’s a fantastic way to start the day. 
Green smoothies are nothing new. Yet I was a skeptical for a long time, fearing they’d be bitter. This one is not. I promise. If you are as unconvinced as I was, you may just have to try this to believe it. It has plenty of fruit to keep things tasty.
Made simply with a few fruits, one vegetable, and nothing else, it tastes only like the fruit itself, yet provides all the nutritional advantages of the greens too. Plus it’s incredibly energizing, and actually makes you feel great, inside and out.
Cheers!
