“I created the 1-Step Smoothie as a way to simplify and save time when making my daily smoothies. I was tired of spinach & kale going bad in my fridge before I could use all my smoothie ingredients, so I started making pre-portioned pucks to save time and waste.
It’s an absolute joy to share my organic, no-waste, easy & extremely delicious, nutrient-packed smoothie hack with you. I hope it allows you to reclaim a bit more time for the things you love too!”
