Super power smoothie

Recipe

This smoothie is filling, energizing, and up-lifting, and loaded with nutrients without compromising on taste. It can be stored in the fridge for several hours and used during the day as "pick me up" snack instead of coffee or another kind of stimulant. It is a good idea to drink this smoothie (or any smoothie) slowly. This way, we can allow for the digestive enzymes to release and help to digest and absorb the nutrients.
