A friend of mine said this to me the other day.....

But no, your green smoothie does not have to be gross!!

• No, you don't have to add mushrooms, vinegar or kale.
• Choose one green and stick with that (zucchini and spinach are flavorless!).
• Use a little vanilla or chocolate protein powder to enhance the taste and you are good to go!

I get so many questions about smoothies! I know it can be really confusing, so this week on Facebook I broke it all down for you...

Here are some important things to note when crafting your healthy smoothie at home: 

Don't add more fruit than you would eat in one sitting (there's not way you would more than a cup of anything, or two pieces at once, so don't blend that much up, either)
Greens are necessary....zucchini, spinach, spirulina. They don't have to be overpowering, but you gotta use 'em.
You don't need any fancy milks or liquids to add, water does just fine.
Healthy fat in the form of flax seed or avocado gives it a nutrient boost.
