Classic Green Smoothie
When a recent wellness visit at the doctor had us using more iron in Edie's diet, we turned to green smoothies. And what started as a concerted effort to get our little one her vitamins has now resulted in a conscious love of kale smoothies. I can't say I dislike any part of that sentence.
We all know that smoothies take minimal effort to prepare and that they end up tasting and looking delicious. And while making a vibrant green drink for your little, why not make some extra for yourself?! After all, we can all afford to have more greens!
