Green Superfood Smoothie
This green superfood smoothie is a green smoothie filled with healthy greens and lots of superfood ingredients!
I love green smoothies – it’s an easy way to get lots of greens & healthy nutrients into your diet at breakfast time (or any time of day). Let’s face it, no one really wants to eat a bunch of leaves for breakfast – but sipping on them in a yummy smoothie is so easy! And, if you make a green smoothie the right way you will hardly even taste the greens
