How to Pack a Smoothie with Omega 3’s
So, here’s the situation guys. I don’t like fish. At all. In fact, the only time I’ll actually eat it is if someone else prepares it, because I just can’t stomach the smell of it (which I realize sounds dramatic, but it’s definitely accurate). My husband also isn’t a...
