The Incredible Green Smoothie
Welcome to my favorite “feel good” smoothie, based on the “I Am Incredible Smoothie” from Cafe Gratitude. Loaded with enzymes, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory nutrition, I mastered this recipe while on vacation in Hawaii where let’s face it, it’s pretty easy to feel good! If you love healthy food that’s good for you and tastes incredible, you’ll love this. [Photo by Brooke Lark on Unsplash]Dosha of This Recipe: VP-K=
