This smoothie will change the way you think about Dandelion Greens! This smoothie has a tropical twist that will make you even forget you are drinking dandelion greens. I was at Bosu class (Pilates) and I was getting really hungry by the end of class so I started dreaming of a smoothies (ya, I know, only in Crystal-land!) I remembered I had dandelion greens in the fridge from my juice cleanse and a ton of fruit so I thought this would be perfect!
If you read my last post which explains the health benefits of dandelion greens this is a refresher for you:
