This little smoothie has recently become my favorite quick breakfast — it’s pretty much the best smoothie I’ve ever had! And because I can control the amount of added sugar, I feel like this smoothie is actually a healthy choice!
It has a short list of ingredients, is packed with flavor and really is a breeze make. But as you can imagine, (more…)
