TROPICAL INSPIRATION

This morning the sun wasn't as bright as it had been for the last couple of weeks. Clouds have moved in and the sky was grey. I wanted to continue the feelings of sunshine and happiness so I checked my fridge for some inspiration for breakfast and found some leftover coconut milk and some papaya.  I created a tropical smoothie to keep the momentum going with all of the warm summer weather we've been having lately. The temperature was 24 degrees Celsius yesterday.  Yes, if you check the date this was posted it is actually still March. It is very unheard of to have such warm weather here in Southern Ontario this early in the year.
Anyways, try this smoothie, its full of vitamin rich fruit, protein from the coconut milk and omegas 3, 6 and 9 from the flax seed oil, which helps for healthy and glowing skin. Any protein powder can easily be added for that extra boost of protein.  The banana is not pictured in the ingredients but had already been added to blender.
