My recipe this week comes from Green Smoothie Girl. I actually went to one her classes this past weekend and it was just amazing! So inspiring and it really makes you want to make a difference in the way you eat. That is what I'm doing, taking small steps to eating more whole foods. And drinking a green smoothie everyday. I actually won a prize while I was there as well! A powder that she made that is just full of minerals, fruits, vegetables, and loads of nutrients!

Don't mind the wood/dirt taste of it! Haha well that's just what I thought I tasted. If you need it more sweet, just add some more strawberries or stevia.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups coconut liquid (I used coconut water from the store)

1 large carrot
1/4 of a beet, raw, peeled

1/4 cup of cashews

1/4 cup chopped dates 

2 tsp. vanilla

12 frozen strawberries


Mix together!!
