SMOOTHIE OF THE DAY | PROBIOTIC HEMPY CARROT MORNING BLISS 🥕🥕🥕

amy-goodrich (70)in #food • 6 years ago

Good morning steemit! Another beautiful day is upon us. For everybody living in Cambodia happy Pchum Ben (aka ancestors days). Together with Khmer New Year in April, Pchum Ben is the most important festival for Khmer people.

Though it is a 15-day festival, the last three days (starting today till Wednesday) are the ones that truly matter. The word 'Ben' in Khmer means to collect or to cup or mould cooked rice into portions. 'Ben Baht' means to collect food to give to monks. The word 'Phchum' means to meet together.

It's going to be 2 mad days at our bakery I reckon. the weekend was already crazy busy. Wednesday, on the last day of the celebration and honouring the ancestors we have our 2-days off so hopefully, we can pick up some of the festivity atmospheres.

Although it is rather a holiday people celebrate at home with their family, friends and neighbours.

Time to get ready for all the madness with this yummy, nutrient-packed morning drink!
