We love our golden smoothie and you will too. It is packed with flavour and full of great nutritional benefits that will get your new year off to a healthy start with amazing flavour as well. My husband actually said this had too much flavour. Is that even a thing? We don't think so, but if you think it has too much flavour, by all means add some water to dilute slightly!

(This is day two of our Revive and Thrive Smoothie Challenge)
