As we age, our ability to digest and absorb foods can decrease. A delicious way to make healthy plants easy to eat is found in your blender. Learn how to make nutrient-dense and delicious plant-based smoothies and high fiber juices at home. A high-powered blender is a plus, but a standard blender works, too. Chef Robin Asbell will be whipping up a super green protein smoothie, an almond butter smoothie bowl with berries, a green lemonade and a Warrior’s Blood Blend. Recipes will be sent to registrants ahead of time so that you can cook along with us, and you can also download a list of ingredients to have on hand.

Robin is an author, educator and natural foods chef who has written for numerous print and online media outlets, including Fine Cooking, Better Homes and Gardens, Vegetarian Times, simplyrecipes.com and  southernliving.com.
