A Morning Snack You Would Usually Think Is Normal But Is Not, P.S. It is a smoothie, SHHHH...

So I recently decided to go on a paleo diet which is one that includes fruits veggies and meats, but does not allow you to eat anything that has sugar, gluten, legumes, dairy, or processed foods. I know, I know, it sounds like I have lost my mind by deciding to go on a diet, and honestly I think that I have. I felt the need to try out different 'ways of eating' as my mom would say. The reason I chose to go on a paleo diet was because of the science fair. My friend Mikelle did a paleo diet for her science fair project in biology and how the det affected facial acne, and it had a really positive impact. I decided to try it out and maybe test that theory. So anyways, that is how we got here to me telling you about how I decided to go on a paleo diet and blogging about it. Now that we are through me explaining why in the world I would want to eat healthily, how about I tell you about this smoothie. The reason that it is not normal but would seem normal is because it looks like a regular smoothie, but if you look at the ingredients, it isn't. It is healthy! woah... The other crazy thing is, that it also tastes good! I got this recipe from a website that I have recently discovered called Paleo Porn, and they have tons of great paleo snacks. So, now that I have got you all worked up for this delicious, and healthy, smoothie, here is your recipe.

Ingredients:

10 ounces of frozen organic whole blackberries
1/4 cup of blanched almonds
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 can of unsweetened full-fat organic coconut milk

Method:

Add the blackberries to a blender and blitz for 5-10 seconds
Add the almonds and process until the nuts are chopped
Add the cinnamon and coconut milk and process, stopping to scrape down the sides until smooth
Pour into glasses and serve
Enjoy! :)
