Smooth Going at Smoothie 101

What a great time we had last night!

The winning recipe at last night’s “A Smooth Way to Eat- Smoothie 101” came from Kathy, Helen, Donna, and Carolyn. They titled their entry ‘A Touch Of Summer’.

After learning basic nutrition facts and sampling a variety of choices they were given a category to choose from to create their own Meal in a Cup. Other entries were ‘The Fab 6 Smoothie’ and ‘All Veggies’. Each own had a unique taste but all were made from fresh whole foods.

While we covered a lot of information there is so much more to explore in the area of Fantastic Fast Food in a Cup. Just wait until you get a load of Protein Frosting and Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Pudding!

Stay tuned for the next  “Smoothie 101” workshop, where we will pass along more Smoothie recipes, sample drinks like “The Green and The Blue”, and of course create some more award winning smoothies.

For now Helen, Donna, Carloyn, and Kathy hold the top place for favorite new smoothie recipe.

Try all three of these new smoothies and let us know what you think.
