RECIPE: sunshine and tropics smoothie

Life is funny, isn’t it? I remember one time when I was in high school I was complaining to my mom about some petty argument I had with another girl and then declared that she had effectively ruined my day. My mom just shrugged and said, “She’s only ruining your day because you let her. If you just move on with your day I believe you could have a perfectly good one.”
In the moment I was so angry with my mom for not taking my “side”, as ludicrous as it was. Because I was a stubborn teenager I pretended that my “side” mattered but couldn’t help but really think about her words for the rest of the day. It only took about 20 minutes for me to realize she was right–I wasn’t even spending the day with the girl, so why should she bother me–but I think about her words even to this day.
So why am I bringing up this story, a decade later in a post about a smoothie? Well, that’s because just like you can let something ruin your day if you so choose, I’m starting to believe that you can also let something make your day, as well. And that’s exactly what this smoothie has done for me. It has made my day.
Life is good. And it’s even better when I’m sipping on this …
Sunshine and Tropics Smoothie

  • 2 ripe bananas

    The lip butter in your shop is calling my name. The picture looks so luxurious and buttery! Just how lip butter should be. I'm excited to be seeing more things that you will be making. 🙂 Also, so sorry to hear that your life was turned upside down. May you find comfort in what you love and people who make you feel good.

vegan sweetener guide

hey 👋

I'm Kiki. I am a pretty basic plant-based chick that does yoga and all the things. I try to have as little impact on this planet as I can and I share all the ways I do it here with plant-based vegan food, eco-friendly sustainable living, home gardening, and homemade all natural everything.

I truly believe that if we all do all of the 'little things' then it will add up to make a big difference. I'm so glad that you're here to join me in doing lots of little things.

Let's dig deeper ↠
