I posted this healthy pumpkin smoothie recipe a few years ago, but it was hidden in a post about yogurt and, well, my bowels.
It’s an interesting thing; I get a lot of traffic to that post from Pinterest from people looking for the recipe. I also get a good amount of traffic from google for people searching for digestion issues after having a baby.
I’m sure the visitors from Pinterest are a little bit surprised to find not only a delicious recipe, but also my personal experiences with postpartum gas and digestive problems!
Now I thought I’d clean things up a bit and write a post specifically for the smoothie recipe!
