Don't get burned by the fireworks... or the sun 🌞 Beat the Heat with these smoothies
Hoping you enjoyed the three-day weekend...and didn't get burned.
This blog has been a long time coming, we are going through these hot months and I know that might impede your hunger levels. Well, I get it! But the thing is... you still need to fuel your body!
