Morning smoothy!

Here is a great way to start your day. I usually have a cup of warm water, juice of half a lemon and tsp of cinnamon after I oil pull for 10 minutes. Then I have cup of infused water, just started doing this and boy does it clear the cobwebs. While I am sipping my water I make the smoothy.

The infused water is easy peasy! Get a mason jar put in it whatever fruit, veggies, herbs and I even add a few pieces of raw ginger fill it with filtered water put a lid on it and let stand for at least 30 minutes. I like to put it in the fridge over night so it is very flavourful in the morning.

here are some combo options but that you can mix and match to suit your tastes and needs.


1. Green tea, mint, lime-fat burning, digestion, headaches, congestion and breath freshener.

2. Strawberry, kiwi-cardiovascular health, immune system protection, blood sugar regulation, digestion.

3. Cucumber, lime, lemon- water weight management, bloating, appetite control, hydration, digestion

4. Lemon, lime, orange- digestion vitamin C, immune defense, heartburn, (Drink this one at room temperature)




Now onto the smoothy! Here too you can add all sorts of things but this is what works for us.

1 can coconut water
1cup infused water
1/4 cup coconut oil give or take
4 raw eggs
1 peeled lime
1/2 peeled lemon
1/3 cup raw unpasteurized honey
a hand full of raw kale, spinach, or parsley
1 600 g bag of frozen mixed berries

Blend the first 8 ingredients until liquefied then slowly add the frozen berries. It might come out more like a sorbet, which in my house is a plus! So feel free to play around with the amounts till you get the result that suits you best.
