Whole Foods Smoothies, that is without using any milk or yogurt, be it dairy or plant based, is my any day’s targeted breakfast.

But, unfortunately due to lack of enough time in the mornings, most of the days, I skip my breakfast. No worries, instead, it would be covered with a heavy brunch, sometime between 11 AM to 12PM.

Last Saturday, here it was burning superficially as the sun was scorching. Obviously I wasn’t in a mood to stand in front of the stove.

Made this smoothie within mins, had it chilled by adding few ice cubes. Felt absolutely refreshing that kept us filled for couple of hours, before I made the weekend family meal. 🙂
