While hoping to discover creative and healthful ways to enjoy the holiday bounty the day after, I found this smoothie in People Magazine, courtesy of Vitamix. My friends and seasoned home cooks, Caren and Colleen, prepared a fabulous feast, and then kindly gave me the equally delicious planned-overs.
