Tropical Green Smoothie

This smoothie is as healthy as it is delicious! Although it contains a full salad’s worth of leafy greens, what you’ll taste is the tropical sweetness of the pineapple and banana. Avocado gives it a delightful creaminess and thickness, plus a healthy serving of unsaturated fats. This smoothie is full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, protein, and healthy fats to enhance your health and give you a satisfying meal on the go. Cheers!
