Smoothies are refreshing, nutritious and delicious.
There are no strict rules in preparing smoothies. Really, you can combine any fruits, veggies, herbs and nuts, in any proportions and quantities. In addition, smoothies can camouflage some healthy, but maybe not favourite ingredients, like it does for me with spinach! :)
LET YOUR CREATIVITY make SOMETHING YUMMY! :)
