Paulina Suonvieri

A drink of color, fun and happiness is coming your way!

There are endless of variations with smoothies. I have personally probably made hundreds - or thousands - different kinds of smoothies in my life, but today I’m going to give you something new. I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to make a blue-green smoothie or one in yellow-kinda-colors, so I went for both! Here y’all, are my “Mermaid Blue” and “Dessert Beige” smoothies stuffed with vitamins and minerals! Let me tell you more about these.

Superfood powders?

We are using two different kinds of superfood powders in these smoothies. One of them is the green spirulina and the other one is the turmeric. There are loads of health benefits with both of these super food powders, and therefore it’s so good too boost your body with these. Have them included in your morning smoothies and you are ready to go!
