Candy Cane Smoothie
Don’t let the holidays get in the way of your Nutritional Style. Here’s a way to feel like you’re enjoying the holiday, especially if you love sweet treats!
Nothing says HOLIDAY like a bright candy cane, but most of them are made with processed white sugar or cane syrup, and additives you don’t to eat. This smoothie delights the senses, and tastes like Christmas-in-a-glass.
Natural mint leaves and essential oil helps promote a strong digestive track, and will lift your spirits, a bonus for this time of year. Get your dark leafy phytonutrients and iron with spinach, your balanced protein with DIY hemp milk, and cool any inflammation you have going on with some cinnamon. Sound good?
My friend, that processed sugar candy cane can’t come close!

generous handful of ice cubes
1/2 cup peppermint leaves, chopped

My family LOVES this Vegan Egg Nog
I make at least one batch of these Superfood Truffles too.
I even make a warming Dairy Free Hot Cocoa, the perfect antidote for long walks around the farm.
Whatever you do, have a blessed holiday.
With lot’s of sweet love,
