This superfood smoothie recipe is on my list of favorites. It has the 3 key items I always look for in new recipes. Healthy, fast to make and low cost.
It’s healthy. This smoothie is packed full of goodness. And it’s yummy, so a win-win for cells and taste buds.
It’s easy to make. A friend of mine who lives in a very busy house with young children that need to get fed, dressed and ready for school with snacks and lunches still manages to throw this in a blender each morning to start the day off right.
It’s cost effective. Some of these items can be bought in bulk. While there might be a bit of an outlay in the beginning, the quantities used are small and your supplies last quite a while. It’s always nice to save in the long run.

Chew on this
