80 calories, Super Nutritious, and Delicious!
I’m a huge fan of green juices and have experimented with many recipes. Here I will share my favorite recipe that I drink almost every week because it is supercharged with nutrients and has only 76 calories. I blend all the ingredients and drink it with the fiber but if you prefer you can remove the pulp with a sift or you can use a juicer instead of a blender. Unfortunately it won't look blue, but you get more nutrients so it's worth it every once in a while.
