Green Smoothie Recipe

I love making smoothies year-round, but as the weather warms up I like to experiment with refreshing blends to sip on by the pool or at the beach. I came up with this recipe one morning and enjoyed it so much I had to share it.

Like most smoothie recipes, you can use this as a base and add any other ingredients you’d like ((I think things like kale, bee pollen, or coconut oil could be great additions)).
