I developed four easy, diverse, and delicious smoothie recipes for you. Each recipe makes enough for two persons. If you like you can freeze what is left. I did at least. Perfect for early mornings when there’s not enough time to prepare breakfast. Just remove from the freezer the night before and it’ll be liquid in the morning.
