While my passion tends to lean towards love, my adoration for playing around in the kitchen is a very close tie for the dominant strings of my heart. I find food to be one of my love languages. I love to cook for people, as it pairs my creativity with my joy for helping others. Cooking with love is a way to show someone just how much you care. This "True Love" smoothie is no exception. It is a concoction made to awaken the taste buds, tickle the senses, and bring a little "za za zoo" sexiness into your life. It is also full of all sorts of heart-healthy superfoods. This recipe was developed with all of my matchmaker vibes, so it just might bring you true love. Try it, and see what you think.
Recipe:
Blend together all of the following:
2 small beets (steamed, peeled, and cooled)*
1/2 cup frozen tart cherries
2 scoops of collagen powder
1 cup of ice
1 cup of oat milk

Thoughts of love
*Note: you can buy prepared beets as well to keep on hand for this smoothie. Just make sure that they only contain "cooked beets" as the ingredient. (You don't want a vinegar-based beet.)
Blend all of the ingredients until smooth, adding more ice if needed for your desired consistency. Garnish as you like. I topped this with a piece of Kuli Kuli raspberry chia superfood bark that is made with moringa.
This recipe was developed with true love in mind. It is a smoothie that embraces your spirit and energizes your soul at the same time, the way that only love can. I poured the creativity of my matchmaker heart into this, so with it, comes many wishes for love to find its way into every corner of your life. Sit. Relax. Sip. Ponder your wish list for your ideal partner. Dream wildly. Embrace the unknown.
With love from my heart to yours,
Matchmaker Lisa Maria
