yum! that recipe is good that you gave me. i prefer almonds. also i love smoothies, i will have to try this recipe-its so hard for me to ever follow one i just throw everything in. ps, if you use frozen fruit its cheaper and you dont have to use ice cubes. the produce here stinks so that is what i have had to result to, but it still taste great! cant wait to try it with some greens :)
