I think its important to have a mix of recipes here on the website. Sometimes we want to spend lingering hours in the kitchen, pottering about, mixing and measuring. Other times we want something fast, delicious and easy. This peanut butter and hazelnut smoothie certainly fits the later. I’ve posted this smoothie more than once ...
