Smoothies, Smoothies, & More Smoothies!

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE smoothies? In addition to being fun to create, they are also a powerful nutrition tool. You can hide so many nutritious ingredients in smoothies and not even taste them. I love thinking of new ingredients to combine to make the best possible smoothie, and over the past few years I have done quite a bit of experimenting with different combinations. Here are some of my favorite smoothie recipes! They make for a great snack or breakfast. Enjoy! :)
