After I made a recipe for a whipped oatmeal topper, from soaked almonds and green apples, I started experimenting with these two good-for-you foods, in smoothies. Once you learn some good combinations, you can successfully play around with additional more ingredients. What I like may differ from your taste. Don’t be afraid to experiment with food combinations that you like, in your smoothies!
