A recipe for jet lag – cherry coco smoothie

 (FYI:  There’s still time to CLICK, comment & win a “red hot” traveler’s kit!)   

Earlier this week I wrote about melatonin and how it helps cure jet lag.   Tart cherries are a natural form of melatonin.  This got me thinking about  recipes containing cherries.  I’m a terrible cook.  I have zero creativity in the kitchen.  So I decided to contact an expert for help.  Who better to ask than Robyn, an international flight attendant with a passion for health and raw food and the author of the fantastic blog Girl on Raw?  Two days later Robyn emailed me her latest creation – a cherry coco smoothie recipe.  (Thanks Robyn!) 

Cherry Coco Smoothie Ingredients:
