As I focus to become more active and healthier this year, I start the day out with a fruit and vegetable smoothie. I have been doing this for about four months and can absolutely tell that I feel better. It has made a difference for me to start my day out healthy. I would like to share with you my smoothie recipe I used this morning. Please feel free to share your favorite recipes on our Facebook page as I will be sharing more of my favorites in the future.
