This green smoothie is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's a great way to start your day or power up your afternoon. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to get more greens into my diet. I'm not a huge fan of eating salads, so I thought a smoothie would be a good way to get my fill of leafy greens. I started experimenting with different ingredients, and this is the recipe that I came up with. I love it because it's so easy to make, and it's really delicious.
