Summer is around the corner and I like to "go light" with my meals & spend less time in the kitchen.Making breakfast smoothies is my favorite way to start my mornings.
Here are some that I enjoy and my kids love too.
Coco Nana

Mango Melody
3 bananas
1/2 cantaloupe
small mango cubed
1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil

Blend and serve cold

(I don't really measure any of the ingredients.
I add to taste what ever seems to be lacking.)

(feel free to leave your favorite smoothie,I love trying new ones ^_^)

~enjoy~

Although I first created this blend while I was pregnant, it is still one of my favorite.
:::WOMB TEA RECIPE:::
Red Clover Blossoms
Red Raspberry Leaf
Alfalfa
Stinging Nettles
Chamomile Flowers
Anise Seed or Fennel Seed

Everyones taste will vary, so try different ratios.
I like it like this:
3oz. R. Clover & R. Raspberry
2oz. Alfalfa
1oz. Nettle
1oz. Chamomile
.5oz. Anise
Fresh Ginger to taste (Optional)

I never steep this blend longer than 30 minutes because of the Chamomile & the Anise. I've read that Chamomile should be infused for no more than thirty minutes because it is delicate & volatile. Seeds are the embryo of the plant and are engineered to open & release their pro-tonic life energy (medicinal/healing properties) so they don't need to infuse for long.

This synergy of this blend is divine. I like to bless it all up with a lil agave.
Drink Sacred Womb Tea.

This deliciously refreshing, rose-tinges blend of grapefruit and pear juice will keep you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It's perfect for a quick breakfast drink or as a pick me up later in the day when energy levels are lagging. If the grapefruit is particularly tart, serve with a little bowl of brown sugar to sweeten, or use brown sugar [or honey] stirrers.

1 pink and 1 white grapefruit, halved

2 ripe pears

ice cubes

Take a thin slice from one grapefruit half and cut a few thin slices of pear. Roughly chop the remaining pear and push through the juicer.

This fragrant lavender-scented juice is guaranteed to perk up a jaded palate in no time at all. Its heavenly aroma and distinct yet subtle taste is quite divine. Make plenty and keep it in the refrigerator, adding a few extra lavender sprigs to intensify the flavour, if you like. Additional sprigs of lavender make fun stirrers or a pretty garnish if serving at a party.

10-12 lavender flowers, plus extra to serve

45ml / 3 tbsp. caster(superfine) sugar

8 large oranges

ice cubes

Pull the lavender flowers from their stalks and put them into a bowl with the sugar plus 120ml / 4fl oz. / 1/2cup of boiling water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then leave to steep for 10 minutes.

Squeeze the oranges using a citrus juicer and pour the juice into a jug (pitcher). Strain the lavender syrup into the juice and chill.

This juice cocktail is full of
Pottassuim, Alkaline, Niacin, Zinc, Fiber, Protein, Thiamin,
Riboflavin, Folate, Iron, Magnesium and Phosphorus, Vitamin A, C, K,
B6, Calcium, Potassium, Copper, and Manganese. It is always
best to use organic or homegrown fruits and vegetables, but if this
is not available, just make sure to wash and rinse your fruits and
veggies well with warm water along with veggie/fruit wash!

3 Oranges - peeled & wedged

3 Apples – wedged

2 C. Fresh Spinach (chopped)

2 C. Fresh Kale (chopped)

2-3 C. Red Grapes

1 T. Aloe Vera Juice(optional)

Half a coconut and all its water
Half a lime
An inch of fresh vanilla

Directions: Juice the oranges and lime and add the juice to the blender. Add all other ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Either strain or drink asis. If you have a juicer, juice the coconut and banana, and add the juice tothe mixture, stirring back in as much pulp as you like for the consistency you desire.
