They say opposites attract. I don't know that I agree 100% with that... but I would definitely say that most of the time, opposites complement each other.

And for the perfect fruit and veggie balance, as the main ingredient we tried the new
So I guess we can say this smoothie is pretty much us in a bowl... opposites that complement each other perfectly! 😉
