I don’t think I have ever mentioned the fact that I suffer from a bad case of wanderlust. I grew up traveling with my folks, and the love of seeing new places and meeting new faces stuck with me. I have traveled quite a bit in my life and have tried to expose my kids to as much culture as I can. And I frequently find myself dreaming of the next place I want to go. Luckily, my sweetie, Alexei, has the bug too…. the travel bug, I mean…… This morning I was dreaming of warm, sunny beaches. I prefer to travel to places with warm climates and access to the beach. One place I have never been is Thailand. I am envisioning amazing food and warm weather. Smiling people and beautiful buddhas. I can see it now.

This smoothie is inspired by one of the next places I hope to visit.

I use homemade coconut milk for this smoothie recipe. It’s delicious and easy to make. If you use canned, I recommend using natural coconut milk made without carrageenan (a known carcinogen) gums, additives or preservatives. Hope you love it!

Fresh ginger is one of my favorite additions to smoothies and juices. Isn’t it wonderful how flavors can take us to far away places? Fingers crossed that another travel adventure is coming for you soon! Thanks for sharing this at Raw Foods Thursdays!
