Wellness Recipe #101
Fruit Chewy

Our favorite way to start the day is with a fruit smoothie that is so thick and rich that one of our friends calls it a "Fruit Chewy." This recipe will fill a blender with 3 servings of a delicious and healthy drink that will assist you to get through the morning without food cravings.
