In a blender place orange juice, frozen banana, berries, yogurt and sweetener. Blend until smooth and enjoy. This is our family favourite smoothie! We really don't measure so you can guesstimate the amounts and adjust them to your liking for consistency.

Groovy Granola Recipe
Groovy Granola
My friend Tracy shared this wonderful recipe with me some time ago. We adapted the recipe slightly and have been hooked on this granola ever since!
Dry Ingredients:
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups rolled spelt
2 cups rolled kamut
6 Tbsp ground flax seed
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup coconut
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups hot water
¾ honey
1/2 cup grape seed oil
2 tsp vanilla
Preparation:
In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients.
In a glass measuring cup combine the wet ingredients.
Pour wet ingredients over the dry and stir to combine.
Bake in a large baking dish for 1 hour at 250 F stirring every 15 minutes or so.
Watch out – this disappears almost as quickly as you make it!
