We're always in search of the perfect smoothie. Smoothies are like a guilt-free dessert if you make them right. They can be sweet and creamy and full of lots of vitamins and nutrients. Linda LaRue, founder of Crunchless Abs gave us her favorite smoothie recipe. She recommends using fresh, seasonal berries because they will have the best taste, most nutrients, and will be least expensive because they are most likely local.
