I have been really been looking forward to sharing today’s smoothie recipe with all of you! Adapted from GreenKitchenStories, this recipe is a great energy booster, boasts Vitamins A, B, C and more, is full of healing nutrients and has detoxifying and cleansing effects ta boot! Wow! That’s a lot of good nutrition in just one smoothie!
