Fantabulous Smoothie

How to Make a Fantabulous Smoothie
(with tips for designing your own)

Add:
2 Kiwi
2 Fresh Figs
Small wedge Cabbage
Handful of Spinach
About a cup of green/rasberry tea (any tasty liquid)
Blend on high til smooth

Add:
Local honey
1 tsp Watkins Pure Vanilla
6 oz plain yogurt
Blend low

Add (slowly if frozen/ice if fresh):
Berries (blueberry, rasberry, marionberry) til berry colored
Strawberries
Blend high for a few seconds til smooth

Could a power packed breakfast really be that good? Absolutely!
I will proudly face my Wii Active Personal Trainer today, after I walk off the smoothie since I am on my second helping. Staying active and eating well really does improve health, relationships and work. Share a smoothie for added benefit. Socializing around healthy eating creates harmony in the mind, body, and soul.

Keys to a good smoothie:
  • Have fun experimenting rather than measuring
  • Stock your kitchen with fruits & veggies then fill your blender
  • Spinach & citrus compliment each other
  • Cabbage is one of the most healthful forgotten vegetables
  • Local honey helps allergies
  • Yogurt adds creaminess
  • Quality Pure Vanilla or Cinnamon brings out the best flavor

With all of the changes and challenges to finding work and life balance, we need all of the vegetables and nutrition we can get. When I feel discouraged or tired I want to head straight for the chocolate and chips. A delicious smoothie helps me keep up my energy and spirits. Good friends, optimism, and hope are important. I try to remember to meditate, pray, and build up my optimism at: www.happier.com. I find it hard to have the patience to keep working toward my goals. Things don't always go they way I expect, but interesting things happen at the most unexpected times. Keep in touch, Shawna. You are amazing!
