I don't know what the weather is like wherever you are, but it is chilly (feels like 14 degrees) and icing in Kansas, and there has been a lot of sickness going around. Many of my friends and family have caught either a cold or the flu, but so far my house has been spared (fingers crossed) ! I'd like to keep it that way, so I made an energy boosting, Vitamin C packed smoothie for a mid-morning snack.

If you'd rather not use an orange juice, you can always substitute in some almond or regular milk! I personally prefer the fresh squeezed orange juice. This is a super easy and quick snack to make that is also kiddo friendly. Stay healthy out there!
Directions:
1. Peel and cut Mega Kiwi into quarters. (If using oranges or clementines also peel and cut)
2. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth
3. Serve immediately!
