Happy Happy Tuesday everybody!!! Soo, I was just a bit more lenient with my healthy eating during the holidays and I’m 100% still paying for it y’all, like in a big way. I feel like my digestive system is totally off and I totally have some Christmas cheeks love handles/thighs/too many things jiggling to even admit, so here we are today with a very non cheat day recipe.
Sorry to those of y’all looking for something extra decadent and smothered in butter today, I just can’t, my body is mad at me, but I promise Thursday I will have something in the unhealthy/awesome vein. On the bright side, this smoothie is awesome y’all. Since I feel like my digestion was so off, I knew I wanted some ginger root and fresh mint in this, because both are aces in helping with that kind of stuff.
Also, the green tea has the wonderful kick of caffeine as well as tons of good stuff in it for you. Obviously the addition of the strawberries, banana and date add loads more vitamins and of course flavor. Can you tell I’m mildly enthusiastic about this smoothie? Anyways, if you’re feeling that holiday bloat in a big way like I am, then I can’t recommend enough to have this for a few breakfasts this week 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!!!
this picture of tea brewing is the only one I took for some reason, oops…
