Look, as far as we're concerned, green smoothie season is all.year.round. But for some reason, when that springtime sunshine starts a'shining and all those new leaves are poppin', some primal instinct is activated and our bodies kick into give-me-greens-now mode.
If you need a green smoothie in your life (and tbh, don't we all?), this is the perfect way to give your bod a little extra lovin'. This one is not-too-sweet, packed with anti-inflammatory, gut-friendly ingredients, and the perfect choice if you need a break from fruit-heavy smoothies. Cheers!
