Next up in the Breakfast in Bed For Two series is a delicious, rich and indulgent smoothie. ย By delicious, I mean rum.ย By rich, I mean rum.ย And by indulgent, I mean rum.ย All before noon.
I always try to take care of you health nuts out there.ย Last year, I made yโall mulled wine poached pears.ย This year, Iโm bringing you a luscious smoothie that wonโt make you feel guilty, because it contains spinach.ย If a green smoothie coming towards your sweetheart on a tray would make him jump out of bed andย run in the other direction, just leave out the spinach.ย But, really, yโall, you canโt taste the spinach at all.ย So, why not fill your loved one with 1 cup of spinach before lunchtime and smile the rest of the dayย at your good deed?
Stay tuned for a little something sweet to stuff in that tray next to these smoothies.
