Рецепт Tropical Green Smoothie Recipes
Tropical Green Smoothie Recipes
January 3, 2014 by Jelli 5 Comments
I only recently jumped on the green smoothie bandwagon and was deliciously surprised.The abundance of tropical fruits here in Costa Rica lend lots of flavor options for tropical green smoothie recipes.
I’ve always chowed down on fruits and vegetables, but childhood V8 Juice-related traumas meant that until recently, veggies weren’t invited to the elite fruits-only smoothie party. If you’re a newbie like me, your taste buds won’t know what hit them and the mega vitamin surge you’re delivering will majorly boost your immune system!
I drink green smoothies for breakfast or as a snack. They are quick and healthy way to satisfy your appetite until the next mealtime. My toddler is on board too. She eagerly gulps down her portion and obnoxiously pleads for re-fills. We’re still working on the table manners. Here are the tropical green smoothies currently in rotation at my household this month. Grab your blender and drink to your health!
