Hi sweet friends and family!

Today I have a special treat. A Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake that is beaming with plant-based protein. I am a very active woman and love to shake it, move it, stretch it, walk and move a lot so I need to ensure I have plenty of energy to keep going. Protein shakes are a quick, easy and effective way to get the nutrition needed without taking too much time. This recipe has few ingredients so you can make it easily at home and have it taste like a treat while doing so. Win, win! 

Have your sunshine in a cup with carrot, ginger, turmeric juice infused with orange, pineapple, lime and banana. 

Enjoy a sacred smoothie bowl with wholesome ingredients to start your day off in an enjoyable way.  

With the new year, I find myself naturally leaning towards bright vibrant fruits and vegetables. I recently bought a pound of kale, tons of herbs, fresh fruit and veggies. My husband and I have been naturally eating a bit lighter and moving more. Have you found yourself drawn to fresh foods and more movement? 

Oranges, strawberries, a few raspberries and some bonus super-foods create an unforgettable smoothie that may become your new favorite!
