The Wonderful World of Smoothies

Smoothies are a healthy, delicious way to get your fruits and vegetables! They are great when you're on the go and don't have time to fix a big meal. Sometimes, I have a smoothie for every meal! 

Here are some of my tried and true smoothie favorites. The quantities in each recipe are estimated (I never measure!), so feel free to add a little more or less of an ingredient.
