I’ve got all kinds of songs about love cycling through my brain right now.

Do you have a favorite love song?

Mine is my wedding song, At My Most Beautiful. It reminds me that to love someone is always to see them at their most beautiful. Even in the midst of an argument. They’re doing their best and you’re doing yours. It may not feel good at the time. But two people grappling to come back together because they love each other is pretty beautiful.

[Tweet “Say “I love you” with this Hibiscus Tea Infused Smoothie Bowl this Valentine’s Day.”]

Hibiscus Tea Infused Smoothie Bowl recipe// A healthy breakfast smoothie that says "I love you." Light, sweet and creamy with background notes of tangy hibiscus tea. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to write this post today and meditate on Love right now. It’s exactly what my hippie heart needs.

In these turbulent times, I want to try harder to see my fellow Americans at their most beautiful.

I also need to remind myself not to get so caught up in the perplexing world beyond my apartment door that I overlook all the good that’s right in front of me. There is so much of it. I’m so incredibly grateful for my family.

We’re healthy, happy and moving forward. And that counts for so much.

I’ve always had a strong need to nurture my family through food. But lately it’s been more intense than usual. I guess all my feelings are more intense than usual.

Let’s just say there’s a lot of food in my refrigerator. It’s ready to go whenever anyone feels the least bit hungry. Which, when there’s a teenager in the house, is pretty much always.

I’ve been having a blast whipping up all sorts of soups and stews this January. Anything that kindles warmth and comfort is welcome in my kitchen!

Light, sweet and creamy with background notes of tangy hibiscus tea.Although this hibiscus tea infused smoothie bowl is served cold, it’s creaminess and light sweetness warms the heart and the soul. Two things we’ll be calling on a lot in times to come.

If you’re a fan of hibiscus tea, you’ll love it. It’s tang alongside the tart raspberries balances the sweetness of the coconut and honey.

With Valentine’s Day falling on a Tuesday this year, there may not be time for the lavish breakfast you’d normally indulge in. But you can still say “I love you” with this delightfully pink smoothie (which canΒ  be made the night before) and look forward to a leisurely, romantic dinner.
