 Apples are a great food to include in your diet, especially when mixed with wonderful spices like cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. This smoothie literally tastes like you are eating an apple pie! It is sweet and tart, and has NO refined sugar or added chemicals which you would normally spot in a store-bought apple pie.

The benefits of apples are as below:
- Reduce bad cholesterol
- Prevent Alzheimers disease
- Decrease you risk of diabetes
- Increase your body's endurance
- Protect against colon cancer
- Boosts your immune system
- Prevents cataracts
- Great for radiant skin
- Protect the heart
- Reduce your risk of asthma
- Make your teeth whiter!

Ingredients:
- 2 apples (granny smith or pink lady apples I prefer!)
- 1 banana
- 2 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 cup young thai coconut water (plus the coconut meat from the young coconut if you are using fresh)
- 1 cup spinach

Place all in a high speed blender, blend, and enjoy the benefits of this amazing smoothie!

5 ways vanilla heals

No, it is not just an ingredient in your favorite flan or french toast recipe.  Vanilla can heal and ease discomfort!

Here are a few positive effects on your health that you can expect from vanilla extract.

Regulates menstruation:  Adding vanilla extract to your diet could help if you have irregular menstruation cycles.

Reduces stress and anxiety:  Adding vanilla extract to a glass of water or milk can help calm you and reduce stress.  Since stress causes other health problems, reducing stress is getting at the cause.  Vanilla has even been used as a treatment for depression.

Helps with nausea:  One of the more popular applications for vanilla is as a natural stomach settler.  Again, put a few drops of vanilla extract in a glass of water and slowly drink it down when your stomach is upset.  It is also believed that vanilla extract can be used to treat fevers.

Helps with losing weight:  Some studies point to even just smelling vanilla extract as possibly helpful with losing excess weight, though nutrition is the foundation to weight loss.
