Beat The Heat With Our New Smoothies App!

I have some exciting news to share!  With the heat of summer upon us, our editors at Whole Living wish to share a colorful and refreshing new app for the iPad called Whole Living Smoothies.

With innovative recipes that mix fresh fruits and veggies with energy-boosting proteins and healthy fats, Whole Living Smoothies provides an easy, tasty approach to looking and feeling your best. Carefully selected by a panel of food editors and dieticians, these smoothie recipes feature the healthiest ingredients—and taste delicious—so you’ll feel full, fit, and fabulous!

Whole Living Smoothies comes with 12 Essential recipes—quick and easy favorites that require only a few ingredients—as well as 12 ultra-satisfying, Meal-in-a-Glass recipes specially formulated for a balanced breakfast, lunch, or dinner and 12 Allergen-Free recipes that omit ingredients such as nuts, soy, dairy, and wheat. Within the app, you can purchase additional recipe packs—starting with Detox and Weight-Loss—and build your own library of these easy-to-make, fortifying drinks.
