+ STARTING FRESH & MINTY

Hope you all had a nice weekend.  I had a blast in SoCal...even though I got sick the first day we were there.  Been sick for days since then.  Sucks.  Not that I have to tell you all that- I'm sure you know what it feels like to be sick.  I'm starting to finally feel better.  Kind of.

Although, being sick can be a good thing.  For me, it reminds me I need to slow down- eat cleaner, get more exercise, and most importantly get more sleep.  Which means- I'm going to try my VERY best to eat clean again.  And, what better time then Spring to do that?  Anyone else interested?  I realize I haven't posted any health/recipes in a long time- not sure if you are all into that sort of thing anymore?

At any rate- in my journey to feeling better, I made this smoothie that I can't get enough of.  

Here's what I did:

+ handful of organic mint

+ lots of organic kale (as always, to your taste- I do a little more than half a bunch)
+ banana

+ tablespoon or so of organic raw coconut butter

+ ice & water (to the consistency you like- I prefer my smoothies super, super thin- like juice so I do a lot of filtered water)

+ camu powder (for immunity)

Put all ingredients into a vitamix or blender.  Blend until smooth. 

Drink it while it's really cold.  It's beyond refreshing.  My batch made one mason jar's worth of smoothie.

Enjoy!
