Double the Dose!
It has been a very busy year for my family. I just started a new teaching job as a literarcy teacher for K-3rd graders, and believe me when I tell you, they are so precious but they do have thier moments, if you know what I mean! On top of that, we have other events outside of work that we in charge of and we also have workshops that we are required to attend. So with that said, it’s been a busy year already. Since I have been away from you guys for so long, I will be bringing to you to recipes.
I am currently working on getting over the nasty stomach flu (I’ve never had it before!) and since I was loosing all of my insides and my precious nutrients I came across this recipe that I thought was great.
Not only was it fast to make, it tasted great too!

1 1/2 teaspoon(s) lime juice, from 1/2 a lime

- Combine all ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
