Generally speaking,
Smoothies are between-meal drinks. Or probably one that would drink after a
workout, like a protein shake etc. But over the last few weeks, the H and me
have had this as a soothing sugarfree after breakfast drink and with the
mercury soaring high it makes a great start to the day too. Some basic
ingredients and you have a winner on hand.
One may add sugar or honey
to this, but we liked it as it is. Sending this to Blogging Marathon # 41 with this
week's recipes of Summer Special.
Go on, make it and let me
know how you enjoyed it. What's your favourite mocktail / summer beverage by
the way ? Am keen to know...
