SMOOTHIES & JUICES
how to build a green smoothie
Green smoothies have long been our number-one secret to vibrant health! Select a base, like water, nut milk, or coconut water. Fill the blender with dark leafy greens, like spinach or kale. Throw in a cup or two of fruit for sweetness (optional), and finally, pick a superfood boost, like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or spirulina. Blend until smooth, and there you have it—nature’s perfect fast food!
