November 26, 2016 at 3:52 pmThis is fabulous! I just made this smoothie for lunch and it was better than I could have imagined, especially good right now in fall. It has a perfect creamy texture, and the nutty-oaty flavor makes for a great complement to the cinnamon. Great job, I will definitely be making this more often! ♥
