Prickly Pear Smoothie

We love Prickly Pear everything (of course, it is the number 1 ingredient in our oil!) so when we came across this Prickly Pear and Pomegranate smoothie recipe, it was too good not to share! If you are familiar with our oil, you know just how many benefits Prickly Pear has for your skin, hair and nails, well it doesn't stop there, when ingested there are benefits such as weight loss, disease prevention, improved digestion, and immunity!
