Candy Bar Smoothie
I got this recipe in an email from VegNews magazine, and while I don't often eat sweets, I thought you might!
This recipe comes from a new cookbook by Natalie Slater entitled Bake and Destroy. Her Candy Bar Smoothie offers a healthy twist to a classic shake—drink it to cool down or for a yummy breakfast treat!
