Cool Delicious Smoothies

Cool Delicious Smoothies

It has been  a rough winter and it seems thats spring will never get here. I don't know about you, but I am tired of oatmeal and cold weather. When spring finally gets here to stay then a  cool nutritious and refreshing  beverage to start the day sounds just right.
So we will be looking for refreshing smoothies to enjoy.
Below you will find some of my favorites the only thing  I do differently is I add flax seed to all of them its up to you if you do. I add it because flax is so good for me.  
The first two smoothies are my go to summer breakfast smoothies.
