Green smoothies are starting to become “all the rage” now-a-days. Have you tried one?
We just purchased one of those blenders on steroids and have been experimenting with many different types of smoothies.
I really love the green smoothies! It is nice to be able to sneak in some vegetables for even more vitamins and nutrients! I have loved just throwing in any produce we need to use up! And, my kids are smoothie lovers, so it is nice to see them drinking up so many fruits and vegetables!
We have tried out quite a few green smoothies, but this one is by far my favorite at the moment.
