Pit Stop for…Raw Milk

Driving back home today from my sister’s house in PA, I found a great little grocery store hidden in the quaint town of  Stroudsburg, PA near the Delaware Water Gap. Since it’s illegal to buy Raw Milk in Jersey or New York, I loaded up! I also got some straight-from-the-farm eggs and these delicious handmade organic marshmallows covered in toasted coconut that are almost gone as I’m writing this!

The little store is called Earthlight Natural Foods for all you Jerseyans or New Yorkers that are in need of a good place to get some really good organic local produce, grass-fed meats, raw cheeses, and just some quality  products all around. Plus their “bulk” isle is amazing.

Kruz waiting for me in the car… he’s my lil’buddy.

Snack Attack

Strawberry + Banana Smoothie with a little Energy Helper

 

Strawberry + Banana Smoothie

That time of day…3ish I start crashing. Instead of grabbing some cookies or a soda, I made Dan and I something that will hold us off till dinner. Because of the Coconut Milk, it gives this Smoothie that extra boost of minerals, vitamins, electrolytes and saturated fat that will get me through the rest of the day, through my workout, all the way until dinner.

 

Ingredients

6 big strawberries

2 bananas

2 cups whole raw milk

1 cup whole coconut milk

dash of lemonade

handful of ice cubes

BLEND…SIP…CONTINUE YOUR DAY!
