Recipe from Quench-Chapter 6 Warm Weather Smoothie

It’s important to get the nutrients that you need from the ingredients of the season for your body’s best digestion. 

Here is a great tasting and easy smoothie from the book Quench. If you haven’t read this book make sure that you do! It has made wonderful improvements in my skin, sleep, productivity and focus! Here is our facebook book club page if you’d like to look up, by chapter, my online book club portion.
