The top of the day to you and I hope you had a great Easter.

I feel this would be a great time to share with you my Chocolate Smoothie since so many folks were indulging in those Chocolate goodies. This is a favorite in our home and with a heap of my clients when they have an urge for chocolate. Check this out.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Cups of Coconut Water (if you can find it???) I have no problem getting it here in the sunny south. But just buy a coconut in your favorite grocery store and drain as much juice out of 1 coconut as you can. Here's how to do it. Get an ice pick and one of the eyes always opens easily and you'll have to hit the pick slightly with a hammer to get the other eye open so the coconut water will empty freely in a glass.
  
• 4 Bananas
  
• 1 Tablespoon of Carob Powder (you can buy this in any Health Food Store and is and incredible substitute for Chocolate.)
  
• 3 Pitted dates

Put all the ingredients into your blender or Vitamix, (They even have a new product out now that I'm researching out for you and it's called the Thermomix! I will keep you posted on it) Let blend for about 30 seconds and what a powerful drink. It's absolutely a slam dunk with 2 boy howdys and a couple Hail Mary's! Now that's a kick butt rating!

Best to you and try to see if you can't tune into this week's tele-seminar. It's a guaranteed winner.

My door's always open. Stay terrific!
