If you have a blender and you want some ideas for some healthy smoothies, you'll want to get this book.
I received a copy of this book at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
Sounds delicious! We had pumpkin smoothies as part of our family Thanksgiving dinner. I enjoy smoothies, so would definitely enjoy the book. Just thought I'd pop by as I took a break from blogging. I'm back now. Rebranded the blog and changed things a bit :)
