It’s  that time of year where we put away the eggnog and reach for the Vitamix or Nutribullet.

These are all dairy free, vegan and I shouldn’t have to say this, naturally gluten free and Paleo. In other words, they fit into almost everyone’s diet plan.

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get back on track.  These are all dairy free, vegan, and it’s suggested that you use organic fruits and vegetables if possible, especially the berries and apples.

I know you love smoothies because these five smoothies have been viewed at Spinach Tiger over 178,000 times. Some have extraordinary traffic because there is not a lot of competition, but the ones with fewer views are just as good.
