Do you love that cup of coffee first thing in the morning? We do too, so we found a way to add hazelnuts to our favorite beverage. This cold brew smoothie bowl brings so many kinds of happiness together–hazelnuts, cold brew coffee, chocolate, honey and bananas. Great for breakfast, great for any time of day.
