REVIEW: Tim Horton’s NEW Real Fruit Smoothies

Not only can we get our daily java fix, but we can also add another full serving of fruit to the mix as well with their Mix Berry or Strawberry Banana smoothies. The smoothies are fat free and made with real fruit. They contain no artifical colours or flavours and you can add low fat yogurt to get some dairy into your diet and … Continue reading

I didn’t wear any shoes on my feet before I left my house (and I usually do because we have hardwood floors) and my … Continue reading
