Happy New Year everyone! This healthy and delicious smoothie is how I decided that start the new year, okay okay, it's how I started the new year after getting out of bed around 10:30am and promptly eating a thick slice of french toast with maple syrup and a side of jalapeno & cheese curd smokies. It's all about balance!
Cheers to the new year, to our health, to nourishing our bodies, and to being gentle with ourselves during this time of resolution setting and self-reflection.
