KIWI LIME COCONUT PIE SMOOTHIE
When breakfast can be this good you're sure to be bounding out of bed and what a super way to start any day, right? Eager to get up along with eating truly yummy as well as oh-so-good (for you) food. I have a thing for creamy, cooling foods, yes even though I do live with winter seasons. Paired with a hot beverage, its a perfect combo for me. This mousse like creation truly is pie like when topped with a little crunch to mimic crust. See below for additional topping ideas and be creative. Food is meant to be fun and fabulous as well as nourishing. Go for it all!
