Green Smoothie



Remember hearing your Mother say "Eat your vegetables!"  Well Momma was right.  Green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, bok choy, and swish chard are packed with phytonutrients that build your body's immune system and helps to fight off free radicals.  This smoothie also contains cranberries which are super antioxidants that help your skin look young and keeps your internal organs functioning better.
