I just love the smoothie recipes from The Blender Girl at Healthy Blender Recipes. Tess is so talented at coming up with easy, yet super tasty and healthy smoothies.
I really liked this one because I rarely use brazil nuts and never thought about using them in a smoothie. I just love cashews and walnuts, and may try that next time. Also, frozen bananas make a HUGE difference. They just make the smoothie creamier and yummy.
