Groovy Green Smoothie FAQs
Do I need to add all of the seeds to my smoothie?
You don't have to add all of the seeds listed in this recipe. However, they do add a lot of nutrition and body to your smoothie. If you're worried about the flavor—don't be! The seeds don't really change the flavor of the smoothie much.
How long will this smoothie last?
This smoothie is meant to be served right away. You could technically store it in the fridge for a day if can't drink it all right away. But it may separate, and it won't be quite as refreshing the next day.
