    Amazing Smoothie! Hubs and I have both had the crud for a few days, and determined to beat it! This smoothie hit the spot – both as a great option for caloric and nutritional intake as neither of us feel like really eating anything….and as an immunity booster as well! Thank you!

    I definitely will try this, how often do you recommend to drink in order to stay healthy?
    Is ok to give it to my kids (7, 4, 2yo)?

      Hi Patricia! Yes, you can definitely give it to your kids. There are lot sod vitamins in there so you can drink it once a day if you’d like. Thanks for stopping by!

    I have been battling a cold for weeks. I just made this smoothie, hope it works ๐Ÿ™‚ I loaded up on the kale. I was pleasantly surprised that my 4-year-old actually drank some of the smoothie as well. Thanks for sharing!

    I have four kids who are relatively amazing eaters. we were excited to try this smoothie, but must say that none of us enjoyed the texture of it. it was far too pulpy. The flavour was fine, but it wasn’t ‘drinkable’.
