Minty Green Smoothie
By using greens to make a smoothie, juice fiber remains in the smoothie, and the cashew cream provides fat and fiber, all of which help to balance blood sugar. Chlorophyll, as well as vitamins A, E, and K, are all better absorbed with some fat. Greens can change with the season! Enjoy.
