    I have a recipe for blackberry basil smoothie! I am going to be trying it this week, I will post it after I try it, if it's good :laugh:

    And def. get almond butter. I love love love it!!! In case you've never had it, you can eat it on anything! Apples, wasa crackers, toast, waffles, brownies (low fat of course :grumble: :laugh: ) and, even straight out of the jar :glasses:

    enjoy!
