I’d like to say, “Happy Monday,” to you all, but the truth is, I’m sad I’m not still in Grenada. A full recap of the trip will be coming soon, but you can check out instagram to see some of the sights and eats I enjoyed for four glorious days.
It was paradise. I have a lot of recipe ideas brewing based off some of the delicious Caribbean flavors I got to try, but for now I have another scrumptious concoction for you. I’m looking at you, Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie.

Of course, I’ll wouldn’t turn down this smoothie for breakfast either. The balance of protein (I used Vega protein powder) and carbs are a great way to either kick-start or top off your day. Enjoy!
