Refreshing Guava, Pineapple & Mango Soft Serve: Fresh Guava, Frozen Pineapple & Mango and Milk, Topped with Isigny Sainte-Mère Whipped Cream, Cinnamon Sugar, Sliced Strawberries and Blackberries
I love soft serve smoothie treats during the summer! 🙂 They are perfectly refreshing after a long day and just provide that “extra boost” needed to get your to-do list completed! 🙂 I came across some ripe guavas in the market recently (WIN!) and I decided to craft a soft serve with them. Guava has…
