I've been wanting to try out agave, and I wanted to find one that was organic and GMO-free. I found some from Wholesome Sweeteners at my store, so I grabbed a bottle and used it for my afternoon smoothie. I'm trying to add more raw items to my food repertoire, and I like having vegan alternatives occasionally, too. So I used the agave instead of honey and bee pollen, which I've been using in the other smoothies I've been making lately. This one turned out really nice! I really liked the addition of celery this time around, too.
