Zucchini in a Smoothie?!

Zucchini in a smoothie?  YES, that's right! It's so delicious and tasty and I was surprised I couldn't really taste the zucchini itself, I was more memorized with the beautiful purple color from the blueberries and the creamy cold taste.  Zucchini is excellent for boosting immunity as it's a great source of vitamin C.  It even has a bit of protein, and is excellent for fiber which will help to promote satiety and hunger as well as helping with overall digestion.  Get this recipe and try it today!
