5 Delicious Smoothie Recipes!

2014 is the year of health and wellness for our mamas.  We are a lot more concerned about what we put in our bodies and want to be healthier not only for us but for our children.  It is so important that we set a good example for them and have them eating healthy foods.  A great way to do this is by drinking smoothies.  It is the perfect way to get your daily servings of fruit, vegetables and even dairy.
