Back to work today after 2 relaxing days off. Though the workweek goes fast too, it always seems to be time to get back to work in no time. Time goes so fast these days. Just realized that we are welcoming a new month already. It's gonna be a short one, but we have some great things planned in February. Too bad I can't be in Belgium to celebrate my moms birthday.

Belgium will have to wait till the low and rainy season. And it is snowing there now... too cold for this tropical loving girl hehe.

But Let's talk superfood smoothie today. This one has all the nutrients you need to fight inflammation, boost immunity, protect your body from free radical damage, and provide it with all the nutrient it needs to get started.

SUPERFOOD SMOOTHIE WITH GINGER, TURMERIC, KALE AND PINEAPPLE 🌱🍍🍋

INGREDIENTS (SERVES 2 for breakfast)

3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1-1.5 cup water
2 cups fresh kale
2 cups pineapple
1 cup mango
Juice of 1 lime (or 1/2 lemon)
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1-1.5 tbsp fresh grated turmeric
2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil (to increase turmeric's or curcumin's bioavailability)
Pinch of black pepper (to increase turmeric's or curcumin's bioavailability)

DIRECTIONS

Blend kale and coconut milk until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend again. If you have a high-speed blender you can blend everything at once. If the mixture is too thick, add some water and blend again.
Optional: Top with superfoods if you like. I used goji berries.
