Balancing Yin and Yang Smoothie
TODAY, I’m changing up the tone and addressing the all important YIN AND YANG. We live in a world of yang; moving quickly, not having enough time in the day to breath, running to work and always feeling pressured to do more. We are encouraged to work longer hours more often to make something of our lives, and have a feeling of guilt if we rest and relax.Balancing out our yin with the yang keeps us positive and happy. Here is a smoothie recipe to lift your mood and nourish your yin!!!
