Mango Coconut Green Smoothie Recipe, Ep4

June 11th, 2009 Natasha 2 comments

My favorite Green Smoothie!!! My top priority every day is to get as much greens into my diet as possible. I love green smoothies because they taste like fruit smoothies but have greens added in— that means even more vitamins & minerals, and much more protein as well.

Many days I will make an entire blender full of green smoothie (at least a litre) and drink it for my breakfast and lunch. It gives me such great energy, keeps me satisfied and super hydrated.

Go ahead and try it out!!!
