5th Annual Power of Pink Challenge
Five years ago, I was a new blogger who wanted to find a way to help promote Breast Cancer Awareness during the month of October for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I came up with the Power of Pink Challenge to as a way to encourage fellow bloggers, bakers, and readers to think a bit during October about Breast Cancer Awareness.
I’m excited to announce that today kicks off the 5th Annual Power of Pink Challenge! The challenge is simple. Make something PINK. Everyone who participates will be entered in the giveaway I’m hosting as part of the Power of Pink Challenge (details below).
As you all know, breast cancer is a disease that has touched my life in more ways that I would like to admit. I have made it a personal goal of mine to try to make a difference in this front.
I have been saving pink recipes as I see them come up throughout the year. If you’d like to check out some inspiration, Click Here
Here are the rules for the challenge:
– Make something that is pink – use any ingredients you want
– The post much be a new post that is published in October of 2012

– Email me at Jen[at]beantownbaker[dot]com – include:

As always, I’m offering a giveaway along with the challenge to one lucky participant. This year I will be choosing one of the participants at random and making a $100 donation to a charity of their choice. It can be breast cancer related or not.
I love everything about this! Thank you so much for sharing this.
i have a few questions regarding freezing smoothies. I have been told that every day you have a smoothie in the fridge, nutrients are lost. Is this true with freezing as well? Can I expect to have the same exact nutrition in a two day old smoothie as in one prepared five minutes ago? And lastly, how would thaw a smoothie that has been frozen? It seems like putting them in the fridge overnight to thaw would defeat the objective of trying to retain nutrient quality. Any thoughts?

I’m not sure about what happens to the nutrients when you freeze a smoothie…
To thaw it out, I just put it in the fridge overnight. I freeze smoothies for convenience.
