Here’s my second post for this week’s What I Made with My CSA and it’s proof you don’t need a labor-intense recipe to enjoy seasonal food. Smoothies are great for breakfast especially when you’re short on time and want something cold. And this recipe is an easy way to get raw greens into a meal. My favorite combination of frozen fruit is strawberries and mangoes, but use whatever you have on hand. It is also delicious with bananas and any variety of berries. I like to use frozen fruit because it keeps the smoothie cold and thick.
