Pear, Vanilla, Avocado & Spinach Smoothie

Monday morning rolls around and we all like to pretend we’re back to eating healthy. Sort of.

If like myself; you’re not…… Continue reading Creamy Raw Cacao, Almond Butter & Oats Smoothie

During the colder months, I find myself reaching for one cup of coffee too many. It’s my little afternoon pick me up. But sometimes you just need to hit the reset button and reach for something more cleansing & just as energizing. The onset of fall/winter weather also signifies the beginning of “flu season”, AKA my…… Continue reading Apples, Beets, Carrots & Ginger Juice
