14 Years of Smoothie Days

It all started in a cramped rented kitchen back in 2012, with a first crème caramel full of pockmarks and a temperamental old oven.

Year after year, Smoothie Days grew alongside a community of readers who love to cook. From the first few hundred recipes to more than 1,200 that have been tested again and again, every post is a little piece of memory.

Looking back, what I treasure most isn’t the numbers, but all the kitchens that lit up because of a recipe found here — and the “I nailed it!” messages that land in my inbox every day.
