Thanks Scoop Nutrition Community. What an array of fabulous, fun gifts. Jenna, that Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre appears to be the new wonder appliance and would work a dream for those busy families. Larissa and Ivana, what fabulous faux lunchboxes…..gone are the days of the squashed bananas at the bottom of the handbag. Mel, I can just picture you on your antique bike, riding the streets of beautiful Orange, with your farmers market produce in tow. Ash, can’t wait to see the fabulous creations with that chef’s torch on that wonderful, witty blog of yours.
