Mint Carob Smoothie

I received a complimentary jar of Living Tree Community Almond Tahini Carob Butter. All I can say is - LTC - you've created another WINNER! Eat it right off the spoon, spread on dehydrated crackers, or add  it to smoothies, puddings, "cheesecakes," etc.

Cilantro is one of few herbs used as a heavy metal detox agent.  It's also known for natural antibiotic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties. It's credited for regulating blood sugar, lowering cholesterol, boosting immune system, improving sleep, and much more! Cilantro leaves and seeds are both used as condiments and therefore, it's an herb and a spice.

I'm currently in the process of removing my old mercury amalgam fillings, and loading up on cilantro. The flavor can be a bit strong for most smoothies, but in this case, the cilantro marries miraculously with these ingredients. Earthy, delicious and satisfying!
