Fresh and Healthy Smoothies

We have become obsessed with smoothies. Not only do smoothies provide incredible nutrition, you can use smoothies to lose weight, maintain energy, and support your gym goals. Naturally, we did a little investigating and found some incredible recipes that are chock full of fruits and vegetables. The best part? We’ve done all the hard work for you. All you have to do is put these ingredients in your blender to create delicious smoothies for any occasion. You can add ice to your blender, if you prefer, but all of these smoothies use fresh ingredients, which should provide enough liquid for a good consistency.

You can also “pre-make” these smoothies, so you can easily prepare them in the morning. All you need is a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Put all your fresh ingredients in the bags and then into the refrigerator. You’ll look and feel better and get your recommended intake of daily vitamins, fruits, and vegetables!
