This year for me is all about “getting back to the basics”.
I have found that in this super fast, loud, social media filled world everyone is screaming their opinion. It can be overwhelming and tiring. This year I am committed to slowing down a bit, focusing on my own lane and bringing it back to “what works” in my own life.
Not every super trendy idea is worth paying attention to.
The fact is being healthy, grounded, at peace is as complicated as we decide to make it. I have done things the hard way and I have done things the simple way. What I have found is simple always wins.
This year I am going to focus on what is important, real and beneficial. I am going to limit my exposure to noise.
I am bring back what works, what feels good and what is simply tried & true.
*This Lime Pie Smoothie is a classic #DAMYHealth / #HealthyRebel smoothie recipe that has been featured in publications in the US and Canada. I love this smoothie for all its health benefits (it is loaded with greatness) and the fact that it tastes like dessert.

*Update – because I want you to make this recipe so bad I am going to re-print it here. Of course it would be super cool if you downloaded my Healthy Rebel App or 21 Day Vegan Cleanse. The support of these is what keeps our blog running and I how we continue to deliver free content each week. ✌🏻️
This recipe not only tastes like pie it also contains some wonderful, healthy and beautiful benefits. Below you will find some quick facts about these super star shake ingredients:
Limes are packed with antioxidants. These green jewels are known to be detoxifying and toning.
Hemp Seeds are high in protein and fibre. They are great for cleansing the body much like flax seeds. Hemp seeds however are amazing in that they have a perfect 3:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3. The omega 6 fats found in these powerful seeds is called GLA (gamma linolenic acid). GLA has many benefits including regulating inflammation and is commonly used to treat eczema and PMS symptoms. It was discovered that women with PMS have decreased GLA. Restoring your GLA helps reduce common PMS symptoms. Omega 3’s are key to glowing skin, strong nails and healthy, shiny hair.
Avocados are one of the richest sources of glutathione – a powerful antioxidant, immunity booster and detoxifier that helps to repair cell damage caused by stress and pollution.
Coconut Water and Bananas are both loaded with precious potassium. Potassium is essential for maintaining your electrolyte balance that can be depleted during intense workouts or this summer heat. Potassium is key to ensure proper nerve and muscle function.
This recipe is vegan, gluten free, raw, contains omega 3 and 6s, is packed with antioxidants and tastes like a blended Key Lime Pie!
