Smoothies, smoothies, smoothies
Smoothies can be made in a flash and are easy to digest. You can use fresh or frozen fruit. I don’t like my smoothies freezing cold and neither does the stomach since cold hampers its job of digestion. So if I am using frozen fruit it put it in first and then I add hot […]
