Smoothies are a great way of taking in your vitamins and this specific one makes for the perfect afternoon snack. However, please note that smoothies should not replace your main meals because they are only filled with micro-nutrients as opposed to macro-nutrients. - Major Key Alert. They should be taken either for breakfast or a day time snack.
