Carrot Cake Smoothie
Also known as the “Bunny Smoothie” back in our Kindfood days. We always make our own fresh carrot and ginger juice – it’s so easy.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
PUMPKIN Anyone? LOL!! This is my favourite food. It is a ‘food group’ all on its own. I made this smoothie for breakfast yesterday morning and totally fell head over heels.
