Blueberry Banana Smoothie

Blueberry Banana Smoothie

Great for when you're on-the-go, this smoothie can be a healthy start to your day. Put your overripe bananas in the freezer the night before, and you'll have this smoothie ready in minutes. You can also get an added boost of vitamins and nutrients by adding in a handful of spinach in before you blend.
