*Every Friday is all about food on Red Cross Talks – everything from Red Cross inspired recipes to emergency food tips and solutions
Staff at the Canadian Red Cross in Nova Scotia recently got a little lesson in smoothie making. It’s all part of the heath and wellness committee’s efforts to keep Red Crossers healthy.
Not only is this smoothie delicious and nutritious, we also think it’s a great way to stay cool during hot summer days. Try it out and let us know what you think!
The provincial director of the Canadian Red Cross in Nova Scotia, Ismael Aquino, was master of the blender during the fun smoothie-making lesson.Avocado Banana Smoothie
