Chocolate Almond Butter Banana Smoothie

HAPPY SUNDAY!  Sundays are my favorite day of the week.  I love waking up with my family and having nothing to do.  And it’s farmer’s market day.  I get to go into town and buy all our produce for the week from local farmers.  We are so blessed here in Northern California to have so many local, organic farms right in our backyard.  There is something about buying my food from the same people every week, seeing them and their families working together to make a living.  I feel more connected to my food.  I feel more connected to my community.  And it’s fun to be out with the fam.

Abundance....

You can never have enough greens…

This morning I’m was in the mood for something decadent.  So I whipped up this yummy smoothie in my vitamix.  It’s rich.  It’s creamy.  And oh so yummy!!!!!  Yeah, usually don’t eat chocolate in the morning, but…. it was GOOD!!   And it’s made with raw cacao powder, so it’s good for me.  You can skip the chocolate, and it’s still divine.  Enjoy!

      Very good my four year old daughter loved it. I omitted the ice cubes and added a tablespoon of Chia Seeds to help thicken and for extra nutrients

      not sure. I don’t count calories. I find that concentrating on a variety of real, unprocessed foods with good quality fats gives me what I need. Check this out for more info—–> http://thankyourbody.com/not-count-calories-infographic/
