Nutrify with a Superfood Smoothie

With the new year upon us, it's time to jump right into those New Year's resolutions.

Now, every year people joke about making serious resolutions only to abandon them in just a few weeks. The key is to make resolutions that are easy to adhere too. And nothing is easier – and more yummy, I might add – than getting your nutrition from a smoothie.

Smoothies are fantastic for getting your daily allowance of fruits and veggies without feeling like you're consuming a bunch of bland fruits and veggies. Smoothies are also great for sneaking nutritional food into your little picky eater's diet. Want more reasons? The Healthy Smoothie Headquarters features 21 Reasons to Consume Healthy Smoothies.

To further celebrate smoothies, I wanted to highlight some of my favorites from around the web. Today I'm sharing a Superfood Smoothie called the Avocado Green Tea Power Shake from All Day I Dream About Food. This delicious drink contains loads of protein and antioxidants.
