Happy St.Patricks Day Green Smoothie

Once upon a time I celebrated St.Patricks Day with green beer..... ohhhh those were the days! No actually just the thought of that makes me a bit green now ha! All that food dye! Eek! But a right of passage in Uni days really isn't it :) 

These days I ring in the day (and most days) with a green smoothie.

This one is refreshing, light and almost like a juice but with a good dose of fiber from the zucchini and apple skins. 

It's also a big hit with the kids. Hope you enjoy and cheers!
