{recipe} Super Intense Superfood Green Smoothie

I didn’t expect this to be so intensely delicious, I was just eating for energy. I had some really heavy food for breakfast, and it was NOT a good replacement for my usual green smoothie.

My body was tired. Go figure! Not a normal occurrence, and not one I was thrilled about. I had to take action.

I looked in the fridge and basil SCREAMED at me! “Eat me!” So did the sunflower sprouts, which I usually throw on top of a salad.

ONE SIP of this thing, and I knew it was going to be a good drink. I could FEEL the vibrance already pulsating through my veins. No joke.

I’m not going to mislead ya, though. The flavor wasn’t like eating a chocolate sundae. This thing tasted healthy, which I enjoyed (and actually thought was insanely delicious!) interestingly enough! But consider yourself warned!
