i’m a little late on posting today – it’s snowing here in colorado… and, sigh – i’ll just go ahead and say it – i’m over it! can we please be in spring now?! i’m just dying to put on my sanuks and put away my wellies.
i’ve been making a smoothie every morning since we are ‘officially’ in spring now – but i admit it’s just not as satisfying first thing in the morning as a warm cup of coffee or tea. but i’m determined to start cleansing my body out, preparing it for a different season, and lots of different veggies to compliment!
in the meantime, here’s another smoothie recipe. i created this one in mind as more of an evening smoothie. tart cherries and tart cherry juice are good for insomnia, remember?! i call it “sweet-tart” because i used sweet frozen cherries and tart cherry juice… and it turned out rather delicious!
cherry sweet-tart vitamix smoothie :
– frozen sweet cherries {1/2 cup}
– 3 frozen strawberries
– 3 frozen pineapple chunks
– 1 pitted date
– 1/2 cup coconut milk
– 1/2 cup tart cherry juice
Looks wonderfully refreshing! I have been drinking a hot detox drink with boiling water poured over a few pieces of ginger and the juice of 1/2 lemon + tsp of honey. I really don’t handle caffeine well and so it’s the perfect hot cozy drink.
