Happy Monday! Here are three recipes every bit as pink and green as Friday’s cupcake extravaganza, but otherwise from a different planet. (It’s Planet Monday Morning, where the air is full of antioxidants, the core is made of willpower, and the gravity is strong.) I’ve shared all these recipes on Instagram over the past few months, but here they are again in case you missed it. I’ve been crushing on the raspberry, Meyer lemon and Greek yogurt smoothie pictured above many, many mornings during the past month, since I’ve been looking for a little extra protein and haven’t been feelin’ the chalky vibe of vegan pea protein powder.
This green glass of gorgeous is a real inflammation buster, with fresh turmeric and ginger and lots of leafy greens. It also tastes great, I promise.
And who doesn’t love a tall drink of purple? I know I’ll stand (on one foot, on my head) for nothing less after an especially tough hot yoga class.

You can find all the recipes below, and here’s a little something to hang on your fridge. It’s the Daily Dozen from Dr. Michael Greger’s totally worthwhile book How Not to Die.* He recommends the indicated number of daily servings of each of these delicious foods, which as far as I’m concerned is a fabulous way to feel good about what you’re eating. And hey, each of these smoothies will help you tick a few of those immortality-seeking boxes!

*Believe it or not, this asterisk is to inform you that the link above is an amazon affiliate link, and not to indicate that you will inevitably die one day despite reading this book. Speaking of which, here’s a photo of those piano recital cupcakes I was about to make when we last talked. Cute, right? And since we’re all mortal anyway, totally worth it.

Talk to you soon.
