Spring Into Fitness

Hi peeps!

The weather today was almost 80 degrees!  It made me feel so excited for spring and I have had so much more energy just knowing spring is almost here.  This winter has been a rough one and I'm so ready for some warm sunshine.   I made a promise to myself for the next few months I am going to try to work out 4-5 times a week and be healthier.   I have found a few products I think are beneficial which I have added to my diet and I wanted to share them with you in hopes they will help you too!

I have been hearing and seeing how everyone is drinking green smoothies or green juices and how great they are for you.   While I love smoothies, I cannot drink any type of juice that has any pulp in it.  Hence, those recipes that say just to throw in some kale, spinach, celery, an apple, and a lemon with ice do not work for me.   I did not want to invest in an expensive juicer so this powder is my best option!  I just throw a spoonful into any type of smoothie/protein powder in the morning with some water and ice.   I have also tried a spoonful mixed with half lemonade, half apple juice and ice in a blender.   It was pretty good!  If you add enough ice you can get a thicker consistency or if you just add liquids you get a juice that is PULP FREE!   I love it.   It has made me feel better in general and it gives me energy in the am, making me more focused and productive.  When I drink this I also do not need to drink any caffeine and it does not make you feel jittery.    Go ahead..... get you some!

This is another little gem I ran across one day at Smooth King.  I saw it and asked the cashier guy about it.  He said he was not sure, but thought it was something similar to wheat grass.  He told me the owner of the Smoothie King takes it all the time and she loves it.   So, I got a bottle, went home to research it and WOW!   This stuff is just super good for you in general.  It has even been found to prevent some types of cancer.  When I take it (like the above super green powder) I notice a difference in how I feel.  It has also helped my digestion issues, which I think many women have from my experiences.
