For some of us, choosing healthy foods might come second-nature; but for others, eating vegetables and fruit can be considered a daily task. Smoothies are a great way to consume your recommended servings of greens in a delicious and wholesome way. Choosing a green smoothie every morning over the go-to bagel and cream cheese can be the small improvement you need to make a large impact on our health. While the Vitamix will give the best results for these smoothies, normal blenders are also proficient in making these delicious and delectable green smoothies.
