It is one of those days when I have like a 1000 pictures to look through, select and edit and cant decide which recipe pictures to edit and post! So I chose the simplest one 🙂 I made a fun green smoothie the other day, but it just feels like a bright color kind of week.

Check out more fun smoothies/coolers like Strawberry Mango Mint cooler or the spiced Blueberry Strawberry or the Pomegranate Apple Satsuma!

Continuing with the cause from my previous post about abandoned girls, and a Fund raiser by Siri to help one of the Ashrams working to help those girls with care and education.

Why are there so many abandoned girls you say. You will find the answer in this documentary below.

The United Nations estimates as many as 200 million girls are missing in the world today because of this so-called “gendercide”.
This documentary film tells the stories of abandoned and trafficked girls, of women who suffer extreme dowry-related violence, of brave mothers fighting to save their daughters’ lives, and of other mothers who would kill for a son.
