Who doesn’t love a refreshing
fruit smoothie? That frosty combination of fresh fruits and yogurt (along with 1
or 2 coconut
water ice cubes…or 3 or 4) is a
great summer drink. But, correct me if I’m
wrong, they can get to be a bit boring. Am I right? Well, boring smoothies are a thing of the past, thanks to
this mouth-tingling recipe from The
Great Pepper Cookbook by Melissa’s Produce.
You will be stunned,
STUNNED I tell you, at how zippy a smoothie can be when you add a Serrano chile
pepper. You can crank the heat up a bit
by leaving in some of the seeds, but as is, this recipe is perfect.
If you often have
trouble opening your eyes in the morning, this breakfast is for you (in which case you can swap out the frozen yogurt for Greek yogurt). Yummy!
