I know some people have a knack for whipping up delicious smoothies with no instructions, but I bet I am not alone when I say that I am NOT one of those people. Hopefully, this simple little creation of our head chef, Celia’s, will be helpful to all my peeps out there who need a little direction when it comes to this area! Let me know what you think.
