I’m a little obsessed with azaleas.
The obsession started when I moved to Vancouver. Azaleas just don’t grow back in Ontario the way we they do on the west coast so I had never been up close to their exuberant, colour saturated beauty before. One of my favourite things is finding a “wall” of azaleas in my neighbourhood.
Looking at these lush flowers reminds me of the famous quote by the late, great Robin Williams: “Spring is Nature’s way of saying “Let’s Party!”
And here’s a recipe for a pretty pink, azalea hued smoothie:
- 1 1/2 cup cashew milk
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1 T hemp protein
- 1 T vanilla protein powder
Blend these ingredients together and enjoy the strawberry milkshake flavour while nourishing your body with vitamins and healing antioxidants.
