Green Shield
This green smoothie is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's a great way to start your day or refuel after a workout. It's also a great way to sneak in some extra veggies if you're not a big fan of eating them on their own.
Green smoothies have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. They're a quick and easy way to get a healthy dose of fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants. Plus, they're delicious! This particular green smoothie is inspired by the classic Green Goddess dressing, which is made with a blend of herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil. I've added some additional ingredients to give it a more modern twist, such as turmeric and ginger. The result is a smoothie that is both flavorful and nutritious.
