This invigorating green smoothie is the perfect way to start your day or refuel your body after a workout. It's packed with nutrients from barley grass and wheatgrass, and it's sweetened with frozen fruit and almond butter for a delicious and satisfying treat.
The first time I tried barley grass and wheatgrass, I was skeptical. I'd heard they were good for you, but I didn't think they would actually taste good. But I was wrong! These greens have a mild, grassy flavor that's actually quite refreshing. And when they're combined with frozen fruit and almond butter, they create a smoothie that's both delicious and nutritious.
