 Fuel Your Passion!


Anyone who's nutritionally savvy at all knows
that a plant-based diet is great for your vascular system. It helps the heart to pump great and gets the blood going to all the destinations where it should be in your body. That said, think back to your high school anatomy class...to the one chapter that you actually read and reread...the one on the reproductive system. For everything to work like it should (male & female), there needs to be good blood flow, especially during baby-making time. Now wouldn't it save a lot of money, embarrassing trips to the urologist, and stress to keep up with your Viagra script if everyone ate a plant-based diet instead? It goes down much easier than a pill, helps the planet, REALLY helps the animals and boosts your lovelife...
it's a win, win for us all!

Purple Passion Smoothie
(serves 2, of course) 

1 bag of frozen blueberries
2 bananas
1 T. agave nectar
1 scoop protein powder
 (I used Whey Factor brand unflavored)
1/2 c. pourable yogurt or kefir)
(I would normally use So Delicious brand plain coconut kefir, but dairy was all I had)
1/4 c. ground flaxseeds

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until creamy and very smooth...I bit the bullet a few years ago and bought a refurbished Vita-Mix from their website. This blender is the BEST! It's the brand that many smoothie shops use. It came with a blender container for wet ingredients and another one for dry ingredients, like flour or nuts. This thing can grind it all...highly recommend!
