Shakes and Smoothies

Shakes and smoothies are awesome.  They always taste like a treat, but are also healthy.
Here are some flavours I've made lately:

Blueberry smoothie, just frozen blueberries with whole non-homogenized milk.

Mixed berries with milk and plain 10% yogurt.

Raspberry.

Strawberry - peach.

Peach with milk and lavender honey.

The consistency depends on whether I use fresh or frozen fruit, and like I've said before, during off season, I always have frozen fruit in my freezer.  Sometimes I add whole non-homogenized milk, other times almond milk, sometimes orange juice.  Also, ground flax seeds, wheat grass, plain 10% yogurt, honey, vanilla.  Lately I just like whole non-homogenized milk and fruit, very plain, and so good.

Eating To Be Acne Free!

Eating To Be Acne Free!

Great little video, presented by Kristen Ma of Holistic Vanity, www.holisticvanity.ca, and Joy McCarthy, a holistic nutritionist, who can be found at www.joyoushealth.ca.  The video highlights top foods for detoxing our livers, and how in turn we can heal our skin and prevent acne.  Very easy suggestions.

I love my glass of lemon water first thing in the morning, after I brush my teeth of course.  If you're drinking or eating highly acidic foods - any time, you shouldn't brush your teeth right after, because you'll be causing abrasion - mechanical damage, which adds up over time, and can wear out enamel.

I'm glad that they mentioned avocados and their health benefits.  I can't wait for the "fat hate" to go away already.  Stop eating junk and fast food, start eating butter, lard, avocados, linseed, sesame seeds, flax seeds, coconut oil, walnuts, etc.
