Black Tie Smoothie

How to make Black Tie Smoothie Recipe - This is the black tie affair of blended smoothies, deeply detoxifying and delicious. Antioxidant-rich blueberries support resistance to toxic free radicals and mingle gregariously with omega-3-rich chia seeds, intoxicating cacao, aromatic vanilla, and immune-boosting coconut milk. Dates add natural sweetness and fiber, kale offers bone-building vitamin K and calcium, and avocado gives you an abundance of potassium. The result of these ingredients carrying on together is a velvety, chocolaty, berry party.
