Drink to health and happiness!

Every day we fill our bodies with food made in factories. When it makes us sick, we pump our bodies with medicines made in factories. We cry and we pray and we search for answers when the drugs make us feel worse. We are tired, fat, uncomfortable and sick! It seems to me that we have missed the opportunity to be healthy and happy because we have been so busy making and searching for things that will make us healthier and happier.

"God" has given us everything we need to thrive and yet very few of us are actually using these gifts. I realize that it is difficult, if not impossible in modern society to live this authentically, but my goal is to work "backwards" until I find a happy and healthy place of living.

I want the satisfaction of knowing that nearly everything i'm putting in my body these days is natural. To lay in my bed at night and know that if I dont feel well, it has nothing to do with food. I've been scouring websites, books, magazines and friends for healthy food/drink ideas. Here's one I've been hooked on!


Homemade Fruit Pops & Smoothies

6 cups chopped fruit (i used one mini watermelon, and a handful of raspberries)
1-2 containers of low-fat yogurt (I used greek)
3 packets of splenda (optional)

Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into p

opsicle molds or plastic solo cups and add popsicle sticks if needed. Freeze four hours and enjoy! Blend any remaining mix with ice for yummy, guilt-free smoothies.
