These look delicious and refreshing. I went to the store today and stocked up on fruits and veggies. I've got berries, bananas, pineapple, melon, and spinach so I'm ready to begin my days this week with smoothies! I find it's so much easier to make sure I get at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day when I have a smoothie for breakfast.
