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.

Creamy White Bean and Garlic Soup – Tuscan Style
This hearty soup is thick and rich and deliciously filling. It’s loaded with protein from the beans and garlic aids with immune boosting power.

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.
