I hope you were visited by St. Nicholas today instead of the Krampus yesterday. Are you wondering what to do with the many walnuts and mandarins he brought to you and not in the mood for baking today? I think I might have something for you. It is time for a winter-smoothie, a quick breakfast or snack in between.
