Today I am going to give you one of my favorites smoothies. The taste of this smoothie is immense, very complex, and it will leave you with the sense that you need more. What I believe takes this smoothie to an alternate dimension is the cardamom. Can’t explain this in words, but I will leave it to you to comment.

Finally we have cardamom which is originally from India and is commonly used in its cuisine. Cardamom has tons of benefits which we won’t even start to mention here.
