Why You Need to be Drinking Wheatgrass




Ever heard of wheatgrass?

Yeah I can't believe it took me this long to get some of this stuff!!!

A few years back { more like ten } I always heard about those healthy weirdos drinking wheatgrass shots and I'm all like ewwww get that away from me

Now, I f'in love it!!!!

You can take the tablets if you want, but I like the powder form best. It absorbs quicker into the body

yippie!

So you're thinking...."Ok why do I need this in my life"

A little about wheatgrass below and why it is so epic-ly RAWsome!

  • First off it aids in alkalizing the body which is amazing anyway
  • Supports overall health and wellness
  • Gives you energy & boosts immune function
  • Helps achieve 5+ daily servings of vegetables
  • Excellent source of Beta-carotene, calcium, chlorophyll, fiber, iron, & vit K to name a few
  • Contains ALL essential amino acids

So pretty much it's the shit.....in a green powder form ;)

Now how do I like to drink it?????


I love it mixed in my favorite cold pressed juice ^^^^ or this juice


It can be added to just plain 'ole water with ice or added to any of your daily smoothies!

It is so dang simple to incorporate into your diet and you all should be getting this right away

Like go....now

You'll thank me later

Bomb Ass Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream



So, I clearly love sweets and I love sharing my recipes and healthier versions with you all

Today I literally have one of the best, quickest, & healthiest versions of homemade ice cream evs

I have already made it multiple times and with this 90 deg weather, it really hits the spot


The only kitchen tool you will need is a blender

so easy peasy

What you'll need....

  • A blender of your choice
  • A large organic banana
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 1/2 cup of organic whipping cream
  • 12-16 oz. of organic frozen strawberries
  • 1 TBSP of goji powder
  • optional a splash of rum



 Directions:
Place the whipping cream, banana, and half the strawberries in the blender and start blending

Start slowly adding in the rest of the strawberries, the vanilla, and the goji powder until fully blended

{ OPT } this is the time you add in the splash of rum. The rum is going to help keep it creamy if you decide to freeze for longer than a couple hours

   


yum....yummy...... yum..... yum :D


Did I mention yum???

Haha tell me how you like this if you make it!!!!!!
