It’s so nice to find something refreshing yet nutritious on a hot August afternoon! I am enjoying this wonderful smoothie as I write this post today, and it’s delicious. The addition of basil might seem strange, but it really adds a nice hint of “fresh” that feels cooling on a day like this. As a variation, you could also use mint leaves which would be equally amazing!
