Starting the New Year off with Resolutions of "Getting Healthy" is always a goal. Of course 2016 was no different then years past but I did put a little twist on my goals, making smaller changes each month and trying something "NEW TO ME"
While drinking juices and having smoothies are NOT totally new concepts-for me the "NEW" was drinking juices/smoothies with good stuff that can provide me with loads of health benefits by upping intake of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
So February has been all about more juices and smoothies!
The key for me was to incorporate juices/smoothies into diet without totally replacing all meals.Making fresh squeezed citrus juices was so easy with my Tribest Citristar I started with just breakfast for the first three days then I was having them for breakfast and lunch. I would make up a large batch that I would freeze for the week. My kids like smoothies too and packing a frozen smoothie in their lunch has a duel purpose keeps lunch cool and will thaw out by lunch time and kids think they are getting a special treat.
One of my early favorites smoothies was
THE GREEN MONSTER!
There soon became a second twist-- I was on the hunt to drink the rainbow of smoothies.
