Notes
Try these steps to making this smoothie healthier:
- add in a handful of spinach to make it a green smoothie – I promise that it won’t change the taste
- peel and segment a whole orange and throw it in – it will add more fiber and more fresh orange taste
- add in some ground flaxseed (1-2 Tablespoons) to add in some healthy omega-3 essential fatty acids
- add in some plain Greek yogurt for protein and to make your drink super creamy
