Green Bunny Smoothie Recipe
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
I had always been in the habit of having a smoothie or juice daily, but have been a little more lax with it lately (yes, this kind of thing happens even to a nutritionist!). So I’ve been making a real effort to get a smoothie into my breakfast and making extra so that I can have it later in the day, and it’s really made me feel better and more energized. This smoothie was sort of a fridge cleanout because I was out of usual items I use, but it came out great! It’s a combination of vegetables with just a touch of sweet, and I always add a small amount of coconut oil because it’s good for the thyroid.
