Ingredients:
1 cup water or coconut water
1/2 medium avocado, pitted
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
1 cup strawberries (frozen preferred), hulled if necessary
1 small/medium beet, ends trimmed and roughly chopped*
1 lemon, juiced (about 3 tablespoons or so)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
4 large ice cubes
1 apple ( if sweeter smoothie is desired - optional), cored and roughly chopped
Directions:
Steam beet if necessary before starting.
Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth. Adjust sweetness if desired, adding an apple or liquid sweetener to taste if needed.
1) If you are not a beet fan, try adding a handful of leafy greens instead of the beet and include the optional apple. 2) Smoothies shown in pictures does not include apple. Yield may be slightly higher with an apple added in.
Here are a few reasons to chug this down, from a nutritional standpoint.
Beet – cleanses the liver, purifies the blood, anti-inflammatory, source of iron
Avocado – helps lower blood pressure, lubricates joints, anti-inflammatory, loads of healthy fats, high in fibre
Strawberries – high in antioxidants, rich source of vitamin C, benefits digestion
Celery – acts as mild diuretic, promotes feeling of fullness, rich in B vitamins and fibre
Lemon – antibacterial properties, aids digestion, high in Vitamin C, detoxifies and alkalizes, mild diuretic
Virgin Coconut oil – fights viruses, fungi, and bacteria, metabolism booster, healthy MCT fats, increases good HDL cholesterol
Apple (optional) – helps balance blood sugar levels, helps lower cholesterol, aids digestion

i did try almond milk for the fist time the other day, nice : )

And not happy about it as it does change the taste, and when we used Soy Milk it was even worse. I ruined a bannana pudding using Soy milk.....it never set. Had to go back and get some of the real stuff.
Cherry, I hope that you can get your weight back up and your stress will go away. I know how shocked I was when at the last trip to the Dr they told me I was at 100-lbs. I insisted that they weigh me again. Truth be told.......I'm 103!
