Vegetable Smoothies and Juices

Smoothies with only vegetables? Yes please! Nothing is better than a cold, refreshing smoothie on a hot day.

To avoid this, you can also make vegetable juices instead of smoothies to still get in numerous vitamins and minerals. One refreshing juice or smoothie recipe is kale, spinach, coconut water, mint, cucumber, and avocado.
