We had a great start to our summer, with several warm weeks and sunny days. We are so lucky! Sometimes our summers are cold and rainy so this sunny start has a lot of people super happy including me!
I find my moods are way more chipper when it is sunny. Do you? Funny how weather can affect our moods.
Don’t talk to me on a rainy day. Kidding!
Ok, so I am a big fan of smoothies.They are fast, tasty and damn healthy if you make them right! They are super quick which is great for those days when you are running behind.. not that I would know (says the girl nearly always 5 minutes late for work…what can I say, I am consistent at least?)
You can have water based smoothies, coconut water based, juice based and creamy smoothies. Really the options are endless for the variety of smoothies! I usually try to throw veggies in mine. I should actually up the ante and add more variety of veggies to my smoothies.
That can be my goal!
Here is a goal for you.

PS: I’m pretty casual with my recipes. I try to not be too rigid. Play around with ingredients, mix that shite up and enjoy! (You may need to invest in a good quality blender once you discover how awesome smoothies are to make all the time!)
