Cocomint Smoothie
1 whole coconut (meat and water)
piece of vanilla bean (I used about 2cm piece)
small handful of mint leaves
* adjust the mint leaves accordingly to personal taste
* serve with ice for a cold refreshing shake
This year the mint in my veggie garden has really taken off, I have been adding it into all my juices. Then this morning I thought why not my smoothies too? Usually the coconut smoothie is so satisfying, but a little variation now and then is a good thing. Turned to be a brilliant idea! I also threw in some vanilla bean to balance it out... and voila! Creamy coconut with a fresh burst of minty goodness.

"I am not what happened to me,
I am what I choose to become" Carl Gustave Jung I'm Binny, a full time Bikram Yoga teacher and studio owner that lives in Perth, Australia.
I started this blog to share the things I love the best in the world: being healthy and happy, food (especially raw), yoga, traveling and most importantly, learning how to love and be true to myself. I suffered from severe digestive problems when I was younger, being gluten and lactose intolerant, and developed compartment syndrome and fibromyalgia in my teens. I have lived with constant pain for over 16 years now. Over the past 10 years, I've shifted to a mainly plant based diet and realised that being well and healthy is a way of life. I have been teaching Bikram yoga since 2011, in the US and Australia. Due to my health issues I've also had a lot of bodywork done as well as explored alternative therapies. I've become much more aware of myself as a result of all this - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Right now I love my life. In my career I love what I do and I do what I love. I have traveled to some amazing places around the world and made lifelong friends. In between working and traveling, I cook up a storm in the kitchen, especially raw desserts, spend time with the people I love the best, which now includes a yoga husband, a mini yogini Estell, and our dog! I try to listen to my body the best I can. I truly believe that we all have the power and the capabilities to heal our own bodies, to nourish the spirit and seek our own happiness and life's purpose. This my journey... Archives
