Natalie makes so many yummy smoothies for the family. I bought one of the small handheld “stick” immersion blenders and Natalie does everything herself. It’s not only delicious, but nutritious. It’s wonderful for those of us who are thinking about bathing suit weather to substitute a smoothie for any of the usual high fat snacks we love (like Ben &Jerry’s Néw York Superfudge ice cream)! Smoothie on, Natalie – they’re phenoma-Natalie.
