Smoothies & Blended Salads

Here are some nutritious concoctions I’ve been collecting from clients to help get your creative juices flowing!  Basically, the difference between a smoothie and a blended salad is that the smoothie is mostly fruit, whereas the blended salad is at least half veggies.  Feel free to tweak these according to your preferences, and please do share your favorites below…
