I recently made the most delicious jalapeño & strawberry salsa for my Tuesday Taco night and I had some fresh produce left over so this smoothie was a little experiment if you will …. and it was delicious! If you combine just the right amount of sweetness with a little kick you have yourself one hella smoothie!
Warning: this smoothie is not for the faint hearted … if you don’t like spice, this is probably not your thing but you can always reduce the jalapeño quantity to give it just the right amount of spice you desire.
