God Gives Good Things

"Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing."  Psalm 145:16

God has given us some great things to eat.  This morning, I made a pineapple, mango smoothie.  Pineapple is an anti-inflammatory and rich in vitamin C.  Mango is an antioxidant and helps lower blood pressure due to the presence of magnesium and potassium.

Here's the recipe:

1/2 cup of almond milk

1/2 cup of orange juice

1/2 cup of mango frozen

1 cup of pineapple frozen

It's high in vitamin C, so it's a good choice for cold and flu season.

For protein and healthy fats, I chose low sugar Chobani Greek yogurt, Purely Elizabeth granola, and 1/4 cup of shelled pistachios.  This yielded about 24 grams of protein. Not bad for a breakfast.

Finding healthy options doesn't have to be hard. God has created some great foods for us to eat, but that means putting down the processed, addictive junk that is designed to hook you by feeding a craving.
