I don't normally buy dry ranch packets because they have MSG in them but you could use this recipe for homemade ranch seasonings and just add it…

We have them at least once a week. Our favorite is bananas, pineapple, and spinach. Today I did bananas, frozen peaches (from last summer's harvest of our tree), frozen strawberries, and spinach. We usually have an egg or some other protein with it. I don't think green smoothies alone would help you lose weight but if you…
