People who know me know that I LOVE snow and any snow sports, however, don't mistake that for loving cold weather!! It has been freezing in the East and all I could think of today when I woke up was simulating something spring and summer like. Success: Tropical Mango Coconut Smoothie. While drinking it I day dreamed I was back on the beach during our Puerto Morales, Mexico vacation...ahh, the memories... This smoothie is fruity, creamy and naturally tasty with no added refined sugar, and best of all packed with antioxidants, numerous vitamins (A, B's, C, K) and minerals (copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium...and more) needed for all sorts of brain and body functions, and loads and loads of fiber to help keep you full and help prevent heart disease! Now time to stop typing and put the mittens back on...Brrrrr!! ;)

 February is American Heart Month, raising awareness about heart disease, the leading cause of death for both men and woman: 1 out of 4 deaths (1)! Heart disease includes conditions such as atherosclerosis (when arteries become clogged due to plaque build-up) that can result in coronary artery disease and ultimately cause heart attacks, heart failure and strokes by obstructing the flow of oxygen and blood to the rest of your body (1,2).
What causes plaque build up? It’s mainly low-density lipoprotein (aka LDL aka ‘bad’ cholesterol) mixed with fat, calcium and other miscellaneous materials found in your blood (1,3,4). |
