Green Smoothie


Let's be honest. Green smoothies are great nutrition wise but some can be downright gross. Am I right? I jumped on the green smoothie bus a few years back and I have to admit it was a rough ride. Many of smoothies met their demise into the garbage disposal...but, I finally found a great, healthy option that tastes amazing!

This smoothie is packed with omega-3 essential fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, protein, Vitamins B & K, and several other goodies! These are a must with this nasty cold and flu crud going around. As we speak, I have my 11 month old on my lap with a fever. Blah...its going to be a long one. Come on summer!

Let me know what you think and feel free to post what you secret to the perfect green smoothie is?

Thanks guys!
Nicole.

The Ultimate Salad Guide

Let's be honest for a minute and talk about salads. Salads can be boring sometimes. At my house, we used to have one with dinner every...single...night. I just got burned out on them. Salads and I took a break for quite a while. When I started incorporating salads back into my meal planning, I discovered there was so much out there to give them a little kick. Before they were missing flavor and pizzazz. I played around with different types of greens and paired them with a variety of toppings. Making the perfect salad is a bit like putting together a puzzle. I did some Pinterest-ing and started experimenting. A typical rule to follow when perfecting your salad game is start with greens, add some cheese, some crunch, some flavor, meat/protein and top with dressing. Here is a  neat guide I created to get you started: There is so much more you can add, this is just a good graphic to get you started.
