Emoji-inspired healthy smoothie recipes

With digitisation, emojis have become a different kind of communication channel. Years ago, these cute little emoticons may have been used to simply showcase relative emotions, but now they've grown into a more complex communication structure by replacing words and phrases. Let’s agree that we all love emojis to communicate and World Emoji Day holds a special place in our hearts. Since we all connect through emojis every single day, July 17 has been celebrated as World Emoji Day across the globe. 

Celebrate this day with emoji inspired healthy recipes to take your communication game to the next level.
