Smoothie of Destiny

I love this recipe. It is delicious, satisfying, and very health-building. It makes an energizing and sustaining breakfast, and goes nicely with whole grain toast, if a more substantial meal is desired.

2 cups fruit, fresh or frozen (peaches, strawberries, etc) or a banana or two
2 cups milk
2 eggs
Honey to taste
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon Spirulina (optional)

Combine ingredients in blender and blend until fully pureed. Recipe can be cut in half, but I make the whole batch, because if there are any leftovers, they make a nice mid-morning pickup.

This drink varies in its health-building properties, of course, with the quality of ingredients used. In our case, the honey is from our hives, the eggs from our partially-free-range hens, the milk from our mostly-grass-fed cow, and all ingredients are whole and raw. If you live on or have access to a farm, and can take advantage of similar blessings, wonderful. If you live in the city, you may still find good organic ingredients through health food or farmer's markets. Whatever your circumstances, use the best you can find and afford. It is worth it.

NOTE: If there is no fruit on hand, the smoothie can be made without it, which variation yields egg nog, and benefits from a splash of vanilla. Also, if I am feeling decadent, I'm not above leaving the fruit out anyway (unless it is banana), and adding a tablespoon of cocoa in place of the Spirulina. Just, you know, for Chocolate Emergencies.
