“Whoever feels that spring is already gone and summer is making its appearance too early in the year, good news: you’re not alone! But high temperatures also mean enjoying ice cream, frappes, smoothies and shakes! And inspired by a recipe I saw on bonappetit.com this month, I prepared this simple but delicious shake-smoothie that is not only very easy to prepare, but healthy, flavorful and surprinsingly spicy. Enjoy!”
