I know how difficult it can be to get kids to eat their greens each day, but let’s face it, most of us adults struggle to get our recommended servings each day.  And we have so many excuses – not enough time, always on the go, I skip lunch, I skip breakfast – trust me, I’ve tried them all.

Truth is, getting your daily fix of fruits and veggies is easy if you incorporate a green smoothie into your daily routine – here are a few recipe ideas for green smoothies at home or try Zola’s Superfood Smoothie, with 1500mg of green micronutrients such as Spirulina and Chlorella, as a grab and go option.
