I wanted to share with you one of my favorite smoothies I have made so far. It was inspired by one of Ani Phyo's smoothies in her book, Ani's Raw food Kitchen. I just took out the cashews and added almond milk instead of water. It is so smooth, creamy and delicious, as well as beautiful! Hope you enjoy it.

a generous handful of strawberries

a spoonful of raw coconut oil

half a vanilla bean, scraped

three dates (adjust for sweetness)

a little almond milk for creaminess

(I use unsweetened Almond Breeze, plain)

This is my inspiration wall. I am fascinated with natural textures like wood and grass, and also by handmade objects. I didn't used to use my own drawings as inspiration for myself, but now that I have begun to refine my drawing skills as well as my taste, I find that my own drawings really do express me and make me happy. Several of these are photos from my grandparents' National Geographic magazines from the 1970's, which I bring with me on every move. They have become wrinkled over time, but the nostalgic color schemes of these pieces never cease to energize me. Of course, my drawings are scattered about- guitar and hands, fruits and vegetables, and a couple other strange things- see if you can spot them! The rest are samples from paper companies, illustration magazines, and stuff I got at the flea market. Wherever I am living, I feel complete when I have my inspiration wall!

Same Process: Pencil on denril, scan, color.

I added woodgrain to the background by selecting the highlights and then adjusting the curves so it would be bright white.
