3 Delicious Smoothie Recipes

I don’t know about you but at this time of year I am actively trying to be fit, eat healthy and shed the winter pounds in anticipation of a spring break somewhere tropical. I am also ready to be done with winter cocooning and am looking forward to what spring brings.   I was recently gifted a Vitamix and have been experimenting with my 8 year old. We have come up with some amazing smoothie combinations and here are some of our favourites. But, the most fun in making smoothies is trying something new so feel free to adapt to your own tastes or pantry.

Combine the following recipes in a high powered blender and enjoy.
