Quick Easy Smoothie

This mama-to-be is suffering with an ear infection.  I have been taking my NingXia Red, using Lavender Essential Oil and Purification Essential Oil blend on the outside of my ear and 2 drops of Mullein Garlic Oil in  my ear.  I am surviving and will make it to my Raw Foods 101 class tonight to teach the awesomeness of incorporating raw foods into your diet.  Actually, right now my ear doesn't feel too bad.  But it does slightly hurt to chew.  So I decided to whip up a quick smooth to fill me up and give me a nutrition boost to help get over this ear business.

Quick Easy Smoothie
1 Acai Smoothie Packet (you can find this in the freezer section of most health food stores)
1 - 1.5 Cups frozen Raspberries
1 fresh Banana
1.5 - 2 Cups Vanilla Flax Milk (feel free to sub with your favorite non-dairy milk)
Blend away and enjoy!

Eat: Banana Pumpkin Seed Muffins

I used to love Sundays, the hubby and I would sleep in then make an awesome breakfast. Since moving to Rochester we have gotten out of doing that. I now work on Sundays and even though it's not until the afternoon it still changes our day. I decided to get back to sharing breakfast with each other and banana muffins looked like a good place to start. These turned out amazing and will definitely have to make them again. They are vegan and gluten-free. Want the recipe? Well here you go!

Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
1/4 C olive oil
3/4 C sugar
2t vanilla
2 flax eggs (2T flax meal with 4T water)
1/4t apple cider vinegar
1.5 C gluten free flour mix
1t baking soda
1t baking powder
1.5t guar gum
1T cinnamon
raw pumpkin seeds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mash up banana then add olive oil, sugar, vanilla, flax eggs, and apple cider vinegar.  In a separate bowl add flour, baking soda, baking powder, guar gum, and cinnamon.  Slowly add dry ingredients to wet and stir until combined.  Place in muffin tin, top with raw pumpkin seeds and bake for 15 to 20.  Enjoy!
