Cook's Notes: Boost the nutrition of this smoothie by using protein and calcium-rich milk instead of fruit juice. The beauty of a smoothie lies in the endless possibilities. You can incorporate whatever fruits and veggies you like and then custom blend with with add-ins such as protein powder, flax or chia seeds, acai berries, maca powder, spirulina, leafy greens. You can't tell from photo but I used metal reusable straws over paper ones.
