    Did you overdo it on Valentine’s chocolates and then vow to workout extra hard at the gym for the rest of the week? Good for you! But you’ll feel a lot better if you also make this smoothie. It will keep you fueled and energized, enhance the detoxifying properties of exercise and even relax your…
