Notes
*Pumpkin is so amazing for us – loaded with vitamin A and potassium – it helps support lung and eye health, as well as fight hypertension.
**My favorite protein powders are RAW Vanilla protein from Garden of Life or the Vanilla Soy protein powder available from the bulk bins at Mother’s Market.
