It is essential to get in your greens, and this smoothie is the perfect opportunity to slip them in. Smoothies as oppose to juices, contain all elements of the fruit and vegetable and, better yet, leave little to no waste. My favorite smoothie is loaded with protein from hemp milk and almond butter, is rich in Vitamin C from the dark greens and berries, and bursting with antioxidants and immune boosters from ginger, lemon, and bee pollen. Whether you blend up in the am, pm, or midday, this smoothie is not to be missed.
