Amy Zulpa has written a number of books that are focused on healthy foods, but one of the options that she really loves is the smoothie. It is versatile, can work as a complete meal or as a filler until the next meal, and can taste really great if it is prepared properly. It was Amy's mother who introduced her to smoothies. In fact, she gave smoothies to Amy and her siblings to ensure that they got the necessary nutrients that make all the difference in growing healthy, energetic children. This book is her way of paying it forward.
