There are times when I want a smoothie that has a little more tartness to it, so when I came upon this Berry Lemonade Green Smoothie from Amy, the creator of the Simply Sugar and Gluten Free Blog, I knew I had to share it.  This is actually the second recipe that Amy has kindly let me post on the iHerb blog. Her first one was a Blackberry Kefir Smoothie.  If you’d like to see the original recipe post, click here.  One last little tidbit. Amy currently has a recipe book that is available for sale at either Amazon or Barnes and Noble. So if you happen to be perusing her blog and like the recipes posted there, the book may be something to look into getting.
