Notes
What Healthy Foods Can Be Added To a Smoothie?
For variety, try adding leafy greens like kale and spinach. Stick with spinach in most smoothies for no discernable taste difference.
Nuts, nut butters and seeds can always be added.
Any kind of berries can be used as well as mango, oranges, pineapple and peaches.
