If you follow Veronica Hendrix on Instagram you’ve probably seen posts of a smoothie she makes several times a week.
"I am not much of a smoothie fan because many of them are a bit sweet for my taste, loaded with calories, fat, and carbs. The recipe is below. Enjoy the audio portion. But the smoothie I make is not. In fact, it has no added sweeteners, fruit juices, or milk – just water. But you can certainly swap out the water and add any liquid you want."
