Love adding a dash of Turmeric (looks red in this photo) and Black Pepper to my eggs! (Also, added a little arugula) Adding spice to my dishes is such a game-changer because it gives my eggs some heat, but also have some great benefits for me. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and Black Pepper warms up my body. Energized and ready for the day!

This blueberry smoothie is a staple for me because it’s so simple and tastes so good. Loaded with antioxidants, natural fruit sugar and protein, why not? You can also use it as a base and add other fresh fruit or supplements to it, so experiment and enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 cup of frozen organic blueberries
1 banana
1 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
Dash of cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
2 tangerines (optional - had some in the fridge and save a few for garnish)
Directions: Blend all ingredients into a vitamix or blender and pour in some additional water or almond milk for the consistency you prefer. Add in a few tablespoons of aloe vera (great for skin & vitamin E) if you’d like, but it will change the taste. If you’d like it a tad bit sweeter feel free to add in a few tablespoons of honey, stevia or coconut sugar. Enjoy!
