October 02, 2019
It's beginning to feel a lot like smoothie season!
Some of you are seasoned Jeuneora smoothie makers, so you'll already know why healthy smoothies are the easiest ways to get your 5+ a day (the plus is totally the addition of Jeuneora collagen!) but for those of us that need a little bit of fresh inspiration we have what you are looking for!
We often search online for the healthiest and yummiest recipes to create ourselves, and these are adaptions of our top 4!
Enough with the chit chat, here they are.
