cc3 Introducing The Chocolate Cashew Coffee! This beautiful plant based, sugar free, and dairy free idea stemmed from a friend of mine Sara, from (@shisodelicious)! This beautiful woman is genuinely one of the most amazing friends, and people in this "foodie" world I live in! She has always got something creative and stunning up her sleeve, but the best part.. she is never afraid to share, and teach her techniques.  This is something that attracts me most about Sara.  She is like my own little mentor, and always helping me to learn more about food, their flavours and even remedies to help me deal with my random tummy issues.

img_5616 Before we jump into the Smoothie part of this post I thought I would quickly touch on the importance of good quality ingredients, and how crucial it is that you read the labels carefully before purchasing! My favourite panty ingredients to add to smoothie are hemp seeds, chia seeds, cacao, matcha, teas, and acai! Never be afraid to be creative, it is the only way you will learn! img_5977 This seven-ingredient Healthy Breakfast Smoothie is exactly what you need to get yourself back into that fit, and healthy routine.  Since we all lead busy lives there is really no time left to fuss with breakfasts, but thanks to blenders, and smoothies we can now pack drinks full with proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants!

lemonade5 If you're looking for the perfect refreshing Lemonade for the Summer then you are reading the right post! Before I dive right in and tell you a little bit about the benefits of citrus, I should really thank the genius behind the inspiration.  Thank you Edgar from @edgarraw for this brilliant and easy idea that you shared with all of your snap chat viewers not too long ago.  As soon as I watched you make it I knew I was going to have to recreate it myself.

ARBONNE1 Are you an avid gym goer?  Are you someone who is not to keen on protein, and pre-work outs?  I know I am! To be honest, I do not use any of it, ever! I will use Beet Powder, and that is it.  So basically I am doing this post on behalf of my boyfriend today, who does use Proteins post gym and before bed.  He is very particular to which product he will use, so that is why I think it is super important that I share with all of you this amazing product, that is Vegan, Cruelty, and according to him, pretty damn delicious.

pina colada Hey everyone! I am back with a delicious but yet nutritions smoothie that everyone in the family can enjoy! It is super silky, and rich and is traditionally consumed with Rum.  I thought I would omit the alcohol, and see how yummy I could make this Tropical drink! It did not take long for me to realize that this drink was going to be simple, awesome, and packed with nutrients.  I know all of you you love Pina Coladas, so you really have no excuse not to give this a go! Before we get to the recipe I am just going to tell you all a bit about the two main ingredients in this smoothie.  Pineapple, and Coconut!
