What’s Your Favorite Smoothie Flavor?

I typically go for the simple banana and strawberry smoothies.  That is my favorite combo, but I also love banana and blueberry!  I have never had a pomegranate and strawberry smoothie before, but I bet it is simply divine!  Pomegranates are a super healthy food, so you can’t really go wrong.  And strawberries always add flavor to any blended beverage.   Then add the cardamon and oh my it must be a flavor burst in your mouth.

Cashews are great to make smoothies super creamy.
