Usually they have a million bazillion calories in it though. I found a way to have my favorite muffin and still feel good about eating it. The cool thing about these…

During the holiday season, I participated in a group called the Healthy Elves (now Healthy Self). I tried many new things. One of the new things I tried was green smoothies. I didn’t know what I was missing because they were delicious and healthy. This is my basic “recipe” or method to make them. You…
