Okay.
Hi.
Okay.
Aloha everyone.
Christina here and I'm so happy.
My mom has come to visit me.
She is...
So happy to be with you.
She's back.
She's here on island.
Aww.
And I have not seen my mom in some months time.
I have not seen my mom since my dad passed.
So we're having a really special time together.
And we're making sure that my mom is taking really good care of herself right now.
Wow.
And I'm...
Hola everybody.
So what are we going to create today Christina?
What kind of great healthy...
Let's be really creative and add some new stuff and have fun together.
What are we going to do?
I'm so glad that my mom is here.
Because usually when she comes to visit me is the time when she gets to actually take care of herself.
Because when she's back home all she does is take care of other people.
And she forgets to take care of herself.
So when she comes to visit me I usually try to make her the priority.
We focus on making sure she gets enough fitness and exercise and good food in her body.
We make sure she's taking all of her proper supplements.
That's why I love coming here.
Because she focuses on me.
I love it so much.
As some of you might know we just lost a really long cancer battle with my dad.
It was really tough on me and my mom.
And it's impacted her health in many different ways.
And it's impacted me in many different ways.
So now having her be here we are encouraging her to pour back into herself.
And to focus on herself again.
And to take really good care of herself.
And we focus on the core priorities and the things that she can do.
Not just here but also when she goes back home.
So that she can get stronger and healthier and happier.
And continue to be the best version of herself.
One of the things, well there's three things that we tend to do everyday when she comes.
Number one, she goes walking.
Right, you went walking this morning?
You went walking to the beach?
Yes.
That was really nice.
She walked two miles.
The second thing she does is she makes a smoothie bowl every single day that she's here.
I love it.
It's her favorite thing.
It's her must.
Smoothie bowls are her favorite thing.
So that's what we're going to do today.
We're going to share her smoothie bowl that she has everyday.
That is not just good for her physical body but also her brain health.
Right?
Right.
And her hormones and everything and more.
And what's the third thing that we do that is really nice and fun?
Salads.
We make salads at night.
Create different salads.
We do.
Different sauces.
We do lots of different salads and dressings.
Toppings.
Oh, so creative.
Oh my goodness.
I could just.
Yeah.
We have to do our salads too.
So we're actually going to share a salad and a dressing in a separate video.
But today, mom wants to share a healthy smoothie.
A healthy smoothie.
Her everyday smoothie.
Right.
I have to have my vitamins in my smoothies and then that's all I need.
I love coming to see Christina.
She, as she inspires me and many people, she gives me the ability to come here and rejuvenate myself.
And become a little healthier.
And it has been a difficult journey the last couple of months.
But I'm here now and we are going to have a great time getting healthier and bringing peace and love back into our hearts.
Just by creating wonderful dishes that we enjoy so much that are so healthy for us.
And appreciate and be in gratitude for everything that we have.
So I'm so excited to be here and share this moment in time with my daughter.
And be creative in the kitchen preparing such great dishes and to nurture our bodies.
So I'm so excited.
Yesterday we got to journey into Christina's fruit orchards.
And we went to the dragon fruit section.
Oh my goodness gracious, you wouldn't believe.
My dragon fruits are fruiting.
It's that time of year.
Unbelievable.
I have not seen a dragon fruit plant.
And how it grows.
It's a cactus.
It is amazing.
I hurt my fingers.
It was so prickly.
When we picked the dragon fruit it was so prickly.
It was just unbelievable.
But yes, isn't this beauty?
Look at this.
Pristine, beautiful purple.
Oh my gosh.
And look at those little.
You picked that one.
So we picked a basket.
Wow, is that not?
Look at God's creation.
Isn't that beautiful?
And unbelievable taste.
It looks beautiful but the taste is even more delicious.
Unbelievable.
These are hefty sized dragon fruits and that was just the first harvest.
I'm going to have to make a separate video on how many we picked.
Isn't that amazing?
And then what did we do with them?
We peeled them and put them in the freezer for our smoothies.
Yep, and what are we going to make with them now?
A smoothie bowl.
Yay!
Oh my gosh.
First of all, we ate some.
The fresh dragon fruit.
They were delicious.
Supple, delicious.
Then we froze the rest for our smoothie bowl today.
I want to show you what I put in my smoothie bowl.
You have to really get the right ingredients, the right mixture too,
to make the smoothie bowl just perfect.
And I have one of my dear friends here with me on this trip
and I'm teaching her how to make a great smoothie bowl.
One of the things that she has said constantly is she makes smoothies at home
but she doesn't like them.
They don't taste very good.
She's always asking my mom why she's so obsessed with her smoothie bowls.
Here's the secret.
So just watch.
Here we go.
First, the secret is delicious bananas.
So on Christina's art shirt, she's got so many different types of bananas
and these are called apple bananas.
They're real tiny.
They're not the traditional bananas.
They're very small.
And I have about five or six frozen bananas.
And I'm going to put them in the blender.
Next, we have frozen the dragon fruit that we picked yesterday.
Well, here it is.
Frozen and delicious.
Look at that.
The beauty of the purple.
So bright.
So amazing.
And it's one medium size, about one medium size dragon fruit.
Really, it depends on how much of a smoothie you want.
And just keep in mind, she's only using two main fruits here.
She's keeping it very simple.
Something that I have learned with smoothies is that the more fruit you add to it,
the more muddled the taste becomes.
The more simple you make your smoothie in terms of foundational ingredients,
the better tasting it is.
So she's only using two core ingredients, bananas and dragon fruit.
Today, I'm using water.
You can use any kind of water you want.
But today, I'm using hydrogen water.
Sometimes you can use coconut water
or maybe you can use if you wanted some coconut milk or other liquids.
But today, it's going to be hydrogen water.
Now, I don't like to put a lot of water.
The more frozen the ingredients, the more water you add.
If you have fresh and frozen, then you add just a little less water.
Now, this is the fun part.
This was fun part, but this is even more fun.
Okay.
I get to add all these wonderful vitamins and minerals that help my body feel better.
One of my favorite minerals is called the Vitamin Mineral Brush by Sun Warrior.
I love to add it to every one of my smoothies.
And I feel great after I drink the whole smoothie.
I take and pour one full cup or one full top.
Next, I want to add, which I love to add, is the Protein Powder by Sun Warrior with the collagen.
I need help.
So, I also like the Tahitian Vanilla.
I love this flavor.
They have so many other flavors, but this is one of my favorite.
Okay.
That was one heaping scoop.
And I mean heaping because it's really good.
I love the Creatine Powder.
It's great for brain health.
And Lord knows I need that.
I need as much help as I can get.
I wish the scoop was a little bigger because I would put a lot more in.
I am using unflavored because I want to taste the flavor of the bananas and the passion fruit.
And also the Tahitian Vanilla.
Perfect together.
And next, we have Glutamine, unflavored, for gut health and muscles, repair of muscles.
And a new product that I just began to enjoy is called Super Reds.
It's antioxidants.
Great for energy.
So, I'll be trying this a lot more.
Now, I'm going to blend the ingredients together.
The very important part of having a good smoothie is a blender.
A good blender that helps the consistency be very smooth.
So, one reason why I love working in Christina's kitchen is she has the best appliances and they're so good.
The food comes out perfect.
So, she's got a great Vitamix blender and we're going to make a wonderful smoothie.
Here we go.
Just want to show you the thickness, how perfect that is.
It's thick, but not too thick.
So, now we're going to have even more fun with toppings.
Chocolate granola, my favorite.
Coconut flakes.
Cacao nibs are next.
Lastly, raw almonds.
Oh my goodness.
Mmm, that's so good.
Okay, bye Christina.
Gonna go finish the bowl now.

Light, healthy, clean, energetic, focused, living.
