Wake-Me-Up Winter Smoothie

By Ashley | Smoothie

Is it just me or do people seem to neglect fresh fruit in the winter? But why??? Citrus fruits are awesome. A little sweet, slightly tangy, and full of immune-boosting vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Creamy Dreamy Green Smoothie

By Ashley | Breakfast , Recipes , Smoothie , Snack

Also, the banana adds just enough sweetness to prevent it from tasting too green. If you are a fan of coconut milk or want to avoid nuts, it’s a great substitute for the almond milk. Sometimes I will add nut butter […]
