Check out the following informative video from one my favorite youtubers. I've been making my own ground turkey tacos for some time and love to see when others are taking the healthier route as well. She (Afrostory) does a thorough job of explaining alternatives to ground beef, cheese, salsa, and iceberg lettuce. She also gives insight into the effects of high sodium, processed salt, lactose intolerance, etc.

Healthy Recipes || My Peach Smoothie
Over the past couple of months, I have upped my homemade smoothie intake from every other morning to every morning. There is just something that feels so good and refreshing about drinking a healthy, fruit/veggie smoothie first thing in the AM. It has been a while since I posted a recipe, so here I go:
Ingredients:
1 organic peach
1 banana
4-5 frozen organic strawberries
1/2 tsp honey (add a bit more depending on your desired sweetness)
1-1 1/2 cup organic soy milk (depending on your desired consistency)
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
Instructions:
Toss all the ingredients into a blender, and blend thoroughly. Pour out into a cup and enjoy!
WANT MORE VITAMIN A?
A cup of apricots can offer you a vitamin A content of 60% the daily value, while a cup of peaches only offers 10%. So, switch out the peaches for apricots. (I exchange every one peach for two apricots.) Apricots also contain more vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber.

Smoothie || Beets, Banana, and Sweet Potato
Sometimes, when I make my smoothies, it is an effort to finish some leftovers or me just working with what I have. Thus, this morning was born this "medley" smoothie. The ingredients were eye-balled, so this breakdown is just an estimate.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup beets (previously roasted)
1 large banana
1/2 cup sweet potato (previously boiled)
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1 1/2 cup water
Instructions:
Blend all together and voila!
