Favorite Smoothies + Make Your Own!

Nutrition
Written By Kristin Ritter

I have been making smoothies (professionally) for over 10 years as a “Juice Bar Gal” traveling the country teaching the ways of Smoothie making and then in my own Cafe that opened in 2016. I also make smoothies every day after my runs and with my kids. They are so fun, easy and you can customize them to meet your wellness goals. Below are some of my favorites but at the end are some tips to become a smoothie guru and make your own. 

Enjoy and happy blending!!
