Happy Labor's Day! I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday. Here's a quick and easy recipe I wanted to share with you today.
You may not know that I love a good farmer's market and now I'm fortunate that we have one that sets up every Wednesday in our work complex. It's heaven to be able to go to the farmer's market during the week! There is one particular stand that sells the best organic fruit and vegetables. I was in heaven looking at all the food, and walked away with much more items that I should have.
One treat was their strawberries! Plump, juicy, deep red strawberries that promised to be sweet and luscious! I couldn't wait to get these home and make a smoothie with them. Smoothies fall in the "fast and fresh" category and are simple, quick and absolutely delishhh!
So a strawberry smoothie is very tasty but also quite ordinary. So let's amp this baby up a bit and make a Strawberry Cinnamon Smoothie! Have you every had cinnamon and strawberry? Well, you are about to venture on a wonderful sweet and earthy journey with your taste buds. This combination hits you with the sweet flavor of the berries and then on the way down you get that kick of heat and spice from the cinnamon. HEAVEN!
What a great combination for a smoothie plus the health benefits that you get from both strawberries and cinnamon. It's a win win in our house! Let it be one in yours too by trying this right away. There are still plenty of strawberries around so get them while they are still ripe and try this drink today!
Enjoy!
