One Festive Goji Berry Bowl
For the past few days, I've really been under the weather. My body has not been a fan of 6 hour drives to and from my hometown of Cleveland combined with sleeping on a couch and being around my family's pets.

The sweetness of the banana with the fall flavor of the pumpkin is unbeatable. I love having this smoothie for a snack post-class or in the morning for breakfast. It's like having dessert in the middle of the day and is a great pick me ...
