I first developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a way to get more nutrients into my diet. I'm a big fan of green smoothies, but I often found them to be too bland or watery. I wanted to create a smoothie that was both flavorful and nutritious, and this recipe is the result. I've been making it regularly ever since, and I always feel great after drinking it. I love the way it makes me feel energized and refreshed.
