Smoothie Recipes!

Have you ever wanted to make a smoothie but didn’t know what to put in it? Well I’ve got you covered! My friend Ashley found a 10-day green smoothie detox program online, and they provided 10 different smoothie recipes. The reason that smoothies have become so popular is because it is the easiest and most convenient way for you to ensure you get your fruits and vegetables daily. Just pop everything into a blender, then enjoy! Read on to see the recipes.

When buying things like kitchen appliances (or anything online for that matter), I highly suggest you read the customer reviews, as they are great for detailing exactly how the products work and if they are worth purchasing.

ALSO! Make sure that all of the fruit (frozen or fresh works fine) are ORGANIC. And the same goes for your vegetables. 🙂

Now that you’ve got smoothie recipe options, let’s start making these smoothies! Have a wonderful week!
