Recipe of the Month:

Welcoming Summer Celebration Smoothie:
1cup almond milk (may use soy milk, rice milk, regular milk)
½ cup frozen (use fresh if available) berries
(ex. black/blueberries + raspberries)
½ banana
2 tblsp flax oil
1 tblsp greens (greens plus, or whatever brand you have)

Blend all ingredients together, preferred with the hand blender it’s less messy. Eat the incredible tasty goodness on the go or as a desert.

Benefits: Berries are really high in vitamins and fruit has natural cleansing properties. It is a great way to boost the energy levels naturally and also rehydrate bodily fluids.
