Sour Berry & Veggie Smoothie

My sleep is better, I have more lasting energy throughout the day which is huge for me because I work late nights and rise early with 3 little elephants of my own.

This morning I took a few tips my eyelash extension lady gave me about juicing and smoothies. She was talking to me about how sometimes the smoothies we make can be very high in sugar and calories because of what we put in it. I took her advice on which fruits are best to use and came up with this delicious concoction:
