Whenever you feel like making a smoothie, remember to use more veggies than fruit to reduce the amount of sugar and make the most of drinking green smoothies. It’s great to incorporate healthy fats and fiber, such as those found in coconut and chia seeds because they give us a good amount of organic energy. This smoothie is perfect to make in the morning and take with you to work for a mid-morning snack. Besides, this is exactly the kind of smoothie that kids will love. Be sure to try it!
