Notes
To make a nutritious smoothie, you should use the freshest, best quality produce you can get your hands on- even better if it’s organic! Be sure to carefully wash all the ingredients before adding them to the blender.
These smoothies are meant to be made in a high-powered blender. If you don’t have one, a high-powered food processor should do the trick- it will make a thicker, pulpier smoothie but it’s still delicious and just as nutritious!
