I added oatmeal to this cacao smoothie to make the consistency a little bit thicker and more filling.  The cool thing about smoothies is that you can mix together your favorite ingredients, blend, add more, retry and blend again. It’s all about trial and … Continue reading Oatmeal Cacao Deliciousness
