This Tropical Coconut Turmeric Smoothie is made with real ingredients and is ultra – refreshing. It is tangy, sweet, thick and creamy in taste. This smoothie is a spring favorite nourishing beverage.
As the weather is changing so are the fresh produce in the stores. The spring ingredients are so inviting and refreshing. With the clear and crisp weather outside I decided to celebrate it with this sunshine in a glass.
While I enjoyed this rejuvenating smoothie under the bright sun, I remembered every moment of my little baby who is growing up too fast.
It is true that I am still struggling to get back into my pre-pregnancy weight. I am normal and not a super human. I might be taking longer than others to get back in shape. However, I am definitely back into healthy and low calorie eating.
I do have old school thoughts of nursing my baby until she is one year old. It might sound crazy in this era but I did it for my first born too.
So, if I am taking longer to lose weight it is very natural.
Therefore, calling out all the nursing moms that it takes an effort and sacrifice to nurture infants. It is ok if you still look pregnant. In the long term your babies will gain and so will you 😊
However, I plan to eat healthy, nutritious and low-calorie food. This way I not only provide energy to myself, my baby also gets the required balanced nutrition. In the end it’s a win-win situation.
