Healthy Green Smoothies
Hi friends! Today I am featuring a guest post from a fellow blogger, Seri from Serisblog.com. She is sharing with us her favorite healthy green smoothies which are perfect for the hot summer days! I tend to stick to the same, aka boring, smoothies so this is good inspiration for changing it up! I’m going to let Seri introduce herself, her blog, and her social media links and then we’ll get to the good stuff!

I’ve had kale smoothies before, and they’re actually good. I bet with the blueberries and mango, these smoothies must be delish! Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday.

I have trouble drinking green drinks, but I must say that your recipes look a lot nicer than the ones I have had. I would not mind trying some of them. I am sure they are very healthy.
