Cannaberry Healing Smoothie



Ingredients:

3 organic bananas
handful of frozen organic raspberries
handful of frozen organic blueberries
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
4 tablespoons of blended raw cannabis leaves
2 tablespoons of hemp seeds
1 cup of mineral source water 




This smoothie is packed with super healthy power foods!! One of them being.... RAW CANNABIS!! 




Ok so most people don't know about this amazing use of the cannabis plant. Instead of heating it up and smoking it and getting high, you can also juice or blend the whole plant (i use the leaves) to get all the CBD content and it won't make you stoned... well it makes you feel a different kind of high, a "oh my god i feel so energised and healthy" high haha 
"Contrary to popular belief, the marijuana plant is a whole lot more than just a psychoactive drug that people use to get high. In raw form, marijuana leaves and buds are actually loaded with a non-psychoactive, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer nutrient compound known as cannabidiol (CBD) that is proving to be a miracle "superfood" capable of preventing and reversing a host of chronic illnesses" (Natural News). 
I live in Belgium where it is legal to own 1 plant per person. You can still make this smoothie if you don't have access to cannabis leaves, just substitute it with other green super foods such as spirulina, chlorella, kale, wheat grass, or any green leafy vegetable. 




Ahh one of my favourite things to add to smoothies... Raspberries and blueberries! 
They contain high levels of vitamin k, manganese, vitamin c, and fiber. 
... and lets not forget about the all the antioxidants!! Antioxidants fight free radicals (unstable cells) in the body that cause illness (such as cancer), protect your skin and hair, and improve your overall health. Wonderful to add to smoothies or eat as a snack :)



I also add some coconut oil for healthy fats (blog post about uses and health benefits of coconut oil coming later... there is just way to much to talk about with this miracle food hehe), organic bananas, hemp seeds for protein, and source water loaded with natural minerals (I stay away from tap water as much as possible).





 Blend all the ingredients together...


 Serve...


 & Enjoy this delicious healing potion <3 mmmmm :D
