Tropical Smoothie

Submitted by Gabby B

"DH & I are on a strict juice diet but I was seeing too much pulp and thus money going down the drain so I decided to blend my fruits and veggies (the soft ones at least) and came up with this delicious smoothie. Keep in mind that this was for a detox so we did not add sugar, honey, or anything else that was not a fruit or water. In other words, it could turn out to be a bit bland for some."
