Build your green smoothie and then drink it!




Part of the fun of a morning green smoothie is playing around with the ingredients until you find the balance that you love to drink.  I came upon this comprehensive list today which gives you lots of options!



HOW TO: BUILD YOUR OWN GREEN SMOOTHIE |
  1. Smoothie meal: 3 parts greens + 1 part fruit + 1 citrus + 1 part protein + 1 part healthy fat OR carbohydrate + superfoods + liquid to your desired texture
  2. Smoothie snack: 2 parts greens + 1 part fruit + 1 citrus + 1 part protein OR healthy fat + superfoods + liquid to your desired texture

  1. Whether your priority is variety or taste, Vaporfi got you covered.

    With vape juices that are created from food-grade ingredients, their vaping flavors are very smooth and consistent.
