Happy New Year! Raise your glass and join us in the first toast of 2017. What’s in that glass? We suggest a super simple smoothie that will jump-start any day of the week, let alone the first of the year.
With only three ingredients (four, if you choose to add ice), the Green Dream Smoothie from FitStar Yoga expert Tara Stiles will set you on a course of success – especially if you’ve been indulging during the holiday season. Stock up on these smoothie staples – spinach, bananas, and almond milk – because if you’re anything like us, you’ll be making this A LOT in the new year. Cheers!
