Do you feel at peace with yourself?

Do you feel happiness? Are you enjoying your life?

Hope the answer is - yes.

But if it’s - no, what is it on your way to be happy?

Very often, it is “If only”
- If only I get one more promotion
- If only I can lose weight
- If only I can afford a bigger car / house
- If only I can find another job
- If only I have more free time
- If only I could have a knowledge or ability to do something....

Don’t wait while something will happen with you, “If only” never helps you, it’s just an excuse, only you’re in power to make yourself happy.

So, find your “If only” and kick its ass 😉

Here's my favorite warm smoothie recipe ❤

Warm Chai Tea Smoothie

A warm comforting smoothie that is full of healthy fruit and spinach, plus just the right amount of spices.

Yields: 2 Prep Time: 5 min. Total Time: 10 min.

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup brewed tea (herbal green, white, or black))

1 cup coconut milk

1 ripe pear (cored and peeled, if desired)

1 ripe apple (cored and peeled, if desired)

2-3 medjool dates

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½- inch piece fresh ginger

¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

Directions:

Blend spinach, tea, and coconut milk until smooth.

Next add the remaining ingredients. If using a high speed blender, start blending again on low speed working up to high speed. Allow to blend for 3-5 minutes, or until very hot.

If using a regular blender, blend until smooth and heat gently on the stove or transfer to mugs and heat in microwave.

Note: Hot tea can be used, but use caution when blending. Be sure to let the lid

vent so the liquid doesn’t leak and splatter. Blend on low speed, working up to

high speed until smooth.
