If you’re like me, you drink smoothies more once the weather starts to get better and when you want to detox from a weekend of overindulgence. I absolutely LOVE smoothies for breakfast and for post workout. They are such an amazing way to get your greens in, add superfoods, and get the protein and carbs you need to replenish after a good gym session. I personally drink them year round, but more and more once spring is in the air. These are two of my faves. I hope you enjoy!
