Get In Your Greens Smoothie

Once again, I have a beautiful recipe to share from the From Scratch Cookbook. The recipes in the book are created by fellow Culinary Nutrition Experts and the proceeds go to Thrive, an outstanding Canadian-based not-for-profit that donates 100% of earnings to field projects in Africa.

You will also find one of my recipes in this year’s version!
