    I love the smoothie. It sounds like quite a treat. I love your lentil soup that I made as your secret partner. I enjoyed going through your blog and I also made the German Apple Cake which I plan to post tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for being my secret blogger.

    Pumpkin Pie Smoothies are a great way to have pumpkin pie flavor but without having an unhealthy dessert!
