It’s so good to be back! It has been a busy May full of of end of the year activites at school and a broken laptop at home, but now I am back with plenty of new ideas, MUCH more freedom, and a functional computer. Perhaps one of the greatest perks of being a teacher is SUMMER!!!!

The next 9 or so weeks will be full of fabulous blog posts on suggested topics such as holistic beauty regimen, raw food detox, overcoming anxious thinking, new smoothie ideas, juicing, how to save $$$ on fruits and veggies, the HcG cancer test, and much more!

Today I’m going back to my roots and talking green smoothie again. This smoothie recipe came about after my mother-in-law left some grapes in our fridge. Grapes are not usually part of our diet since they are difficult to find organic and affordable. We were in desperate need of going to the Farmer’s Market so the other items with smoothie potential were: an avocado, 1 crown broccoli, cooked lentils, and a few carrots. So I combined them and came up with a pretty decent smoothie!

Grape Avocado Smoothie

1 cup grapes
1 avocado, pitted
1 crown of broccoli, chopped
2 carrots
1/2 cup cooked lentils

Add 3-4 cups water or more as needed for desired consistency. Blend in Vitamix until smooth.
