Hello friends! It is 6 am and I've got my coffee and the rest of the house is asleep. I love mornings. I can type without wondering where Grayson is or what electrical outlet he's messing with (toddlers, whew!). I've been wanting to try out Pure Vitamin Club for a long time now since they …

Roll the brussels sprouts around in your mixture, and lay flat on a baking sheet. *I always put aluminum foil down, less to clean up later!Bake around …
Why You Experiment with smoothies!
