Fit 4 Life | Quick and healthy Pumpkin Smoothie

Eating healthy does not have to be boring or time-consuming. The Gleaner's Fit 4 Life dropped by Life Fit Training Centre's Juicy juice bar on Red Hills Road, St Andrew to see if our smoothies could stand up to Olympian Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn's standards.

This week, we bring you the first of those recipes - a delicious pumpkin smoothie. This pumpkin smoothie is the perfect way to replace heavy carbs and processed foods with a more wholesome meal.

So, ditch the bread for a few mornings each week, try it out, and tell us what you think on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter #fit4lifeja
