Spring is coming, the rain is pouring, it is surprisingly warmer than it should be. Therefore, it puts a smile on my face even if there is no sunshine. I love rainy, gloomy weekends! With St. Patrick around the corner, March 17th, I thought to read more

Is this smoothie a magic cure-all? No. But will it make you feel like you’re sipping happiness on a beach with a gentle breeze and zero emails? Definitely yes.
Also, if you’re a parent like me, you already know smoothies are a sneaky way to get fruits (and even greens) into kids without a full-blown negotiation. My crew devoured this one—even the “I-don’t-like-yellow-things” kid.

You can use frozen fruot instead. If you use it, you can add only 1/4 cup of ice cubes or omit completely.
Can you use whole milk? Of course! Use any milk that you prefer. I just happen to love coconut milk and it goes well with this combo.

I’ve always loved green tea—and when it comes to green tea powder, aka matcha, I’m all in. It might sound like an unusual pairing to some, but I absolutely adore the flavor and aroma of cantaloupe and pretty much any kind of melon.
In my opinion, that mild, fruity sweetness balances out the slightly bitter, earthy notes of matcha beautifully. It’s unexpectedly soothing and refreshing.
The last time I shared a matcha frappé recipe, some of you were all about it, while others weren’t sold—and that’s totally okay. Matcha isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (pun fully intended). For me, I like it bold and less sweet, but that’s just how I roll.
In this version, I used stevia and unsweetened coconut milk, but feel free to experiment. Prefer regular dairy or soy milk? Go for it. Want it sweeter? Use sweetened coconut or almond milk or add a bit of honey or maple syrup.
Recipes should work for you, not the other way around. I always say, “You have to taste to know how much is too much for you.”
That brings me to where I’m at right now—currently deep in a seasonal detox, and let me tell you… it sucks. I really miss coffee. The smell, the flavor—ugh, it’s brutal. Honestly, skipping caffeine is harder than cutting carbs. I’m moody, cranky, and not exactly everyone’s favorite person at the moment. I want to bite. No joke.
But I just need to power through a few more days because I know how amazing I’ll feel after. I do this detox every season, and by day four, I start to crack.
It doesn’t help that my kids and husband are living their best lives, eating everything in sight. Honestly, I don’t like them right now. (Kidding. Kind of.) But you get it, right?

Matcha and Cantaloupe Smoothie Recipe
You can add a banana to the mixture and use the melon that you have or like. You can add flax seeds, Chia seeds, or protein powder.
Milk is up to you. I love coconut milk, and yes, you can even add "Soft (silken) tofu for extra protein. In the summertime, adding some ice, it perfect and refreshing.
You can also cube a melon and place it in the Ziploc bag, then in the freezer. It's like melon ice cubes, which are great for smoothies. Any frozen fruit is perfect for smoothies.

After six non-stop months of work—every single day without a pause—I finally took a break. I packed my bags, left my laptop behind, and escaped with my family to breathe, laugh, and simply be. No emails. No notifications. Not even a phone. For someone like read more
Summer BREAK!!!! Ah! Please give me a minute to take a deep breath. Seriously, kids are home and I can already feel their presence until they go to bed.
I am really and honestly so, so thankful for teachers and those 8 hours that they spend with our kids in school. Don’t you agree?
So, my oldest one graduated from 7th grade, my girl is finally out of the elementary and ready for 5th grade, and I do have one more who just completed 1st grade.
I was all emotional when school ended, but that feeling soon went away or was it next the morning when they woke me up and called my name at least 100 times in less than one hour…
Oh, yeah! I am pretty sure that I am ready for school to start again!:)
Anyhow…..to skip that part lets write about something else before they start calling me again.
Once upon a time, Starbucks introduced coconut mocha, but they don’t have it anymore and if they do bring it back it is always limited time offer.
I know this is not the same, but the flavor of cocoa and coconut as well as coffee is there so why not try my healthier version at home.
You may add Vanilla shots or make iced coffee too, just my adding ice-cubes. You can use coconut milk, soy milk or almond milk, but it does not froth as well as regular milk. If you do not have cocoa-coconut oil: Melt coconut oil and add 1/2 teaspoon coconut powder.
Sinful? Yes! Delicious? Yes! Double trouble? Yes! I love double trouble, I live in the moment, I don’t plan anything in life ’cause most of the time I get disappointed so I go with a flow {literally}. I enjoy simple things and truly appreciate them. read more
