Tart Cherry Mango SmoothieTickle your taste buds with this flavorful tart cherry mango smoothie. It’s just as nutritious as it is delicious.

You know that feeling when you find a twenty dollar bill in the back pocket of an old pair of pants?

Cilantro Mango Lime Detox Smoothie

Cilantro Mango Lime Detox SmoothieIt’s time to do some light detoxing the easy way with a delicious smoothie.

That said, how does this smoothie help you detox?

Some of the amazing health benefits of raw milk include boosting the immune system, strengthening teeth and bones, and helping children grow up to be strong and healthy. It’s been shown to alleviate asthma and allergies, and help resolve digestive issues, arthritis, and osteoporosis among other things.

Not only do I love the taste, how I feel after drinking, and the health benefits, tossing a variety of superfoods into my blender is flat out fun. Thankfully, I’m not the only one who share’s this passion.

When I bump heads with a fellow superfood smoothie maker recipes like this ensue. This recipe was inspired by my friend, Ian, a seasoned superfood smoothie maker himself.

Kiwi Mango Flax Seed Smoothie

Spoon a few golden flax seeds into your smoothie for super nutrition.

Tropical fruit, flax seeds, and Greek yogurt combine for one delicious and highly nutritious smoothie.

This may seem like an odd combination of ingredients for a smoothie, at least it did for me, which is why I put off making this dude for a while. Big mistake. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty, and creamy, this smoothie turned out.

Here are a few of the health benefits you can expect from chugging down this smoothie:
