These days, people aren’t just watching what they eat, they are also watching what they drink. This is understandable, especially because people often buy pre-packaged drinks without knowing what all the ingredients are.
Want some ideas for healthy drinks that you can make at home? Here are nine recipes that will help you create drinks that are healthy and tasty!

2. Apple-Peanut Butter Smoothie

A mix of vegetables and fruits, this Kiwi Sensation is great for people who need more vitamins and fiber in their diet. It might get a little chunky though, so you’ll want to store it in a larger mug like Thermos® JMF-500S.
