This green smoothie is such a wonderful way to pack in the vitamins during the winter months and the tropical fruits give it the best flavor! My kids love Tropical Green Smoothies so much that they helped themselves to the other smoothies while I was shooting the photos for this post. Green smoothies are perfect for taking to school and to work because they are so satisfying and give you a great boost in energy.
