Smoothies are a great way to enjoy more fruit and vegetables.
Is it really almost the end of November? I know I say this all the time, but where in the heck has 2015 gone? I swear I was just standing in Fountain Square yelling “Happy New Year!”
YIKES!
With Thanksgiving over and done with, may it rest in peace, I am ready to get back on schedule and start eating a clean diet again. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed my stuffing and pumpkin pie right along side everyone else in the US of A, but I want no more breads, sauces or sugar.
I want fruits and veggies. I ate an apple yesterday and it was AMAZING! Eating clean makes you feel so much better and knocks down the inflammation in your body.
Keep your energy high with my Double Chocolate Blueberry Protein Smoothie.
Now that I am back in my groove, I am going to be eating pretty tight clean diet to help reboot my system and one thing I always include in my reboots is smoothies.
They are a great for getting in your fruits in veggies, and if you add in healthy fats and proteins you will give yourself an energy boost.
This satisfying double chocolate protein smoothie has vitamin C, magnesium, omega-3’s to help with inflammation and cleaning up our cholesterol. Iron to keep us strong and helps to keep our energy high.
Try this smoothie in the morning or after your workout. It will keep you moving and grooving throughout the day with a smile on your face and a spring in your step!
