A TOUCH OF THE TROPICS IN THE SNOW!

An at home day! I LOVE at home days!

Snow. Ice. 18 degrees and a wind chill of 1 degree!

Schools closed.  Our office officially closed too!

It is a gift of time.

Smoothie time and the thoughts of the tropics came to mind as I gazed out the window at the snow.


I cracked open a Thai Coconut and put all the water and coconut meat into the blender, along with an amazingly ripe, sweet mango. Added to that, a half of an avocado, 1 stalk of celery,  a handful of parsley, chia seeds, spirulina and several handfuls of kale. 



Then, my new favorite ingredient: freshly grated ginger! Blend! Blend! Blend!


I topped it off with a sprinkle of some organic unsweetened shredded coconut and grated some fresh nutmeg on the top, and there you have it . . . 

. . . a touch of the tropics in the middle of winter!

Now to enjoy the gift of this day!

  3. Hey Kathy, I tried this today! I didn't have a ripe mango so I sub'ed peach, pineapple & banana, then cilantro for the parsley & added about a tsp of extra coconut oil. Super YUM! Thx for sharing this! :-)
