Peachy Keen Smoothy

By: KENDRA (allrecipes.com)

"I invented this recipe when I started running out of smoothie components. I think it tastes like a cross between peaches and cream, and egg nog (there are no eggs in it though). The oats and/or wheat germ can be omitted for a smoother smoothie. If using frozen peaches, omit the ice cubes."

Prep Time:10 Min    Ready In:10 Min
Original Recipe Yield 2 smoothies

Ingredients:

1 cup sliced peaches
4 cubes ice (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons wheat germ
1 tablespoon rolled oats
1 cup vanilla soy milk

Directions:

Place the peaches, ice, nutmeg, vanilla extract, honey, wheat germ, oats, and soy milk into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Pour into glasses to serve.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

A few good reasons to come into Fruition:

Massage increases blood flow to the muscles, which promotes healing. Everyone loves "massage brain", a welcomed break due to reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol while boosting the feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine. These changes slow your heart rate, reduce your blood pressure, and block your nervous system's pain receptors. And of course to catch up with your Therapists.

Botanica Organic Goji Power Bars

Thank you Christine for sharing these with me!

So delicious even if they don't make it into a bar :)

1 1/2 c Goji Berries
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw sesame seeds
1/2 cup ground *flax seeds (I used already ground up)
1/4 c Agave syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Water

*grind flax seeds and soak in water for 10 minutes. Put all nuts, seeds and 3/4 cup of goji berries into a food processor and blend for a few seconds (I did more as the almonds were still pretty big). In a bowl, mix these ingredients with the agave, water to moisten, cinnamon, vanilla and the rest of the goji berries. Shape the mixture into energy bars, cookie molds, or balls. Let sit for 20 minutes.
(I pressed into a baking pan and since it didn't firm up into a bar format, I put it into a container).
