DAY 8 DAY 8 - SMOOTHIE 2
Green Apple
Loaded with fresh fruit, the bright green color of this smoothie lets you know you are drinking something good for you. Oats add a little bit of fiber and substance, making it filling enough for a quick meal. If your blender can handle it, leave the skins on the apples to gain even more nutritional benefits. Serves 1
