Açaí or natur’s “purple gold” is another product I use on a regularly basis and always have the powdered version of the tropical fruit in my drawer. Haven’t heard of Açaí yet? Well, Açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) berries are purple, grape-like berries that grow on the palm trees that thrive on forest edges, near rivers and streams in Brazil and Amazon Region. Because açaí berries can spoil within a day the easiest way to get them outside their origin country is in powdered form. I personally just love the additional flavor and add 1/2 a tablespoon of it into my berry smoothies.

Green Queen: One of my all time favorite smoothies. Filled with nutrient rich foods, fiber and healthy, natural boosters. Delicious as an in-between meal snack or as a little post workout booster.

There is nothing better than a fresh, homemade tomato soup. I decided to share one of my favorite recipes, it just warms my heart and is healthy and simple too. You’ll only need a handful ingredients, a blender and a larger pot. Perfect as an appetizer or together with fish as a main course.
