Favorite Healthy Green Smoothie Recipe

If your weekend was anything like my weekend, Monday morning requires a green smoothie.

This past weekend was our annual trip up north hunting for morel mushrooms. For the past three years, Pat and I meet up with close friends where we hang out at our cabin and spend a day looking for morels. There’s always lots of laughs, delicious food and adult beverages. With that said, come Monday I will need to recharge and get back on track.
