Staying Healthy During the Holidays (and Year Round)

'Tis the season of so much food! So much amazingly good food that we only seem to have this time of year (pumpkin IS available year round. We COULD eat pumpkin all year round.)  And I love to eat, especially sweets.  But I also love to feel good, to feel good about myself and to feel good physically: healthy and energized (plus I need it, to keep up with a two-year-old.)

Drink Your Skin Beautiful

If you could drink something that made you look better and tasted good at the same time, would you?

Silly question.

Smoothies are a quick, easy way to get a lot of nutrients that you may not consume another way.

This is a great recipe packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that infuse your skin with new life.

Throw all the above in a blender (I like the Nutribullet) and pulse until there are no lumps visible.

I prefer my smoothie consistency to be on the frostier side (like Jamba Juice), so I use frozen ingredients to achieve that (frozen banana, frozen blueberries, frozen kale.) You could even put the yogurt in ice cube trays and freeze that so you can just pop some out and throw in the blender.  Plus, if you freeze the fresh ingredients, they last longer and you can keep them on hand easier.

If you're not a berry lover, pineapple is a good substitute. And coconut water is a good additions as well.

Enjoy!
