Although I'm not a big fan of "green smoothies", this one is delicious and definitely one of my breakfast favourites. And it's great for Easter and St Patrick's Day!
Most smoothies are packed with sugar, unnecessary colourings or additives. This smoothie is not only low-carb but it's also made just from natural ingredients. It's VERY high in fibre, heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and potassium.
