Smoothies can be a great way to get in some valuable greens! However- when they are icey or sugary they are much less supportive of health. The smoothie recipe I recommend is avocado, spinach or arugula, coconut manna, lemon juice and just a bit of berries or banana. If I have only frozen fruit I will add hot water.

From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine ice should be avoided as it slows and dampens our digestion.

This is my blueberry avocado smoothie/pudding. One of the ways that I help people is by expanding and changing their relationship with food. This lovely treat is made up of 1 avocado, 2/3 cup blueberries, lemon juice and coconut milk (also a scoop of collagen powder!)

In TCM, there are three major dietary irregularities that are thought to lead to a variety of pathologies. They are:

1️⃣ Ingestion of raw, cold or unclean food.
2️⃣ Overindulgence of fatty or sweet foods and overeating.
