Between family, work, social, and other day-to-day demands, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy, balanced diet. While everyone knows that a wholesome meal is key to good health, many lack the time or motivation to prepare nutritious food, instead finding themselves reaching for quick, empty-calorie options. Looking for nutritious convenience? Allow me to share two easy, delicious smoothie recipes, featuring our mind and energy booster NingXia Nitro™ that are sure to provide the energy and nutrition you need to make the most of every day.
