Smoothies

My stomach does not agree with mornings, so one of my favorite ways to kickstart my day is by enjoying a large delicious glass of smoothie. Not only does it taste amazing, but it also boosts you with nature's vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. 

So today I am going to introduce 10 of my favorite smoothies, that will strengthen your immune system and keep you healthy and strong for the long week ahead.
