“I am always amazed and excited at the variations of fruit and veggies you can put into a blender or juicer to create a delicious smoothie that is easy to drink. For example, just adding two large handfuls of spinach into a juicer or blender will add some bright green and a lot of nutrition to your smoothie! But if you took the same amount and added it to a salad instead—well, you would probably find it hard to munch through it all in one sitting!”
