Banana Yam Smoothie

Can you feel it? I can. Even in a place like San Diego, there’s a distinct transition from summer to fall. it’s in the air. There’s a little fog some mornings. It cools down faster at night. That unshakeable back-to-school feeling even though it’s been a good 10 years since I’ve gone “back-to-school”. Well, that’s…

Sweet Potato Fudge 2 cups sweet potato puree ½ c. coconut oil, melted ¾ c. cacao powder 1 tsp vanilla extract Sea salt to taste Blend…
