Hearty Green Smoothie

Aren’t the Holidays so wonderful? Spending time with family and friends, eating delicious food, and staying up late playing games is how we celebrated Thanksgiving last week. Now it is Monday. Time for some extra nutrition and a little exercise to help me get back into a healthy routine. I’m not a huge green smoothie fan, but this one is pretty good! It contains TWO servings of veggies and enough protein to provide a refreshing boost to your day. Here’s to a great start to a new week! Enjoy!
