Green Smoothies can be a little intimidating. Be creative with yours! There’s no shame in adding more Agave or Sugar if the healthy taste is overwhelming. You can add Mangos and Coconut Flakes for a more tropical taste, or Blueberries and Yogurt for a more tart taste. My sister likes to throw Kale in hers! There are no rules to the Green Smoothie…just make it to your liking! Either way, you will look and feel healthy drinking it ;)
