Then blend the green layer (no blender rinsing needed). Pour and set aside.
Lastly, blend the purple layer.
Pour the purple layer into your serving glass first.

Yellow to top it off.
You may have some extra of the yellow layer. Drink as you please!

I am a 55 year old black woman, I desperately need and want to lose this excess weight..last year I lost 55 lbs and gained it back due to hormone injections…now I’m ready to shed these unwanted pounds that have me in physical, emotional, and mental bondage..
Gwen Williams says
Do the smoothies make you feel full and satisfied??
Chev says
Yes, they definitely leave you feeling satisfied because of the fiber from the fruits and veggies. You can also get a vegan protein powder to add to it and it’s even more filling. I try to drink one for breakfast.
