Berry Green Power Smoothie

Smoothies can be a great way to get several servings of fruits and vegetables without lifting a fork. There’s no shortage of smoothie recipes, and it can be fun to experiment with different combinations. Just be sure that you’re including a variety of colorful foods, some form of protein, and a little healthy fat to keep you satiated. This smoothie has some anti-inflammatory fresh herbs that help tone down the greens and brighten up the rest of the ingredients. I think it’s pure bliss in a glass!
