Wow, it’s been a minute since I’ve shared a smoothie recipe hasn't it? Have I mentioned before how much I love sharing smoothies for how simple they are to write in recipe form? It’s just a single step and a few ingredients. 😀
I'm really feeling that simplicity today. This weekend in Coeur d'Alene is one of our busiest of the year because there are some big festivals going on. There's a street fair, and art show/marketplace, and a food and drink festival all in the same weekend. It's definitely great for the local businesses but that also means we've been slammed at the restaurant. The streets are actually blocked off in a lot of areas and we're expecting to be super busy all through the weekend so I'm preparing myself.
Anyway, smoothies are great for a quick easy option, not to mention they're healthy and refreshing!
