hey kristen…where do you find the smoothie mix in the grocery store?
2 Kristenon 08 Sep 2008 at 11:33 am
You can only buy the smoothie mixes at a Weight Watcher center. Or if you are an online (eTools) member, you can buy them in the store.

Hi Kristin,
I love your site. I’ve tried several of the recipes and make them regularly. Thanks for all your great ideas! My husband and I were thinking of purchasing a side of beef, and I saw that you do this each year. Can you give me any information about it? We don’t know where to go, from whom to buy, prices, etc.
Thanks! You can email me at jenluzadder@aol.com.
