Today being Thursday, we'll start with something thirsty, and I'm going with something on the healthy side for this week. Who wouldn't want to super-charge their immune system with this antioxidant filled smoothie? If anyone else is lactose intolerant like me, rest assured, this smoothie is made with Greek yogurt, you'll be ok :)
I found this great recipe on Pinterest via skinnyms.com
