I know…. I’m sorry… I have been away for many months. 2017 was a bit of a rough year. I was going through many different personal issues and really didn’t feel creative. I lost my passion for creating new recipes. I still wanted to keep this blog going for all of you. I wanted and still want you to be able to find great, healthy, allergy free recipes.

With the new year, I am trying to get my passion and drive back. I am looking into my creative self, to find new recipes to bring you. One new way to start a new year is with a healthy breakfast smoothie. This one is full of healthy fats, greens and protein. There is no fruit in this smoothie. I am really trying to learn from years past to not over do it on my fruit. (Even though I love them!! My body is not that thrilled) I hope you love my new chocolate smoothie! I also hope to bring you other new recipes in this coming year!

Happy New Year everyone!!
