Refreshing Green Smoothie

I thought I would share this refreshing smoothie that’s perfect for the hot summer months!

All of my smoothies follow Kelly Leveque’s “Fab Four Smoothie” model to incorporate protein (20+ grams), fiber, fat and greens. This combination makes for a nutritionally packed and balanced meal that keeps me full through the mornings! I have a large buffet of ingredients now that makes it easy to create all kinds of variety within my smoothies, but this one has been a favorite lately because of the refreshing, summery flavors.

Why You Need a Wellness Accountability Partner

One of my favorite things about 2018 so far has been having a wellness accountability partner in my friend Jo! I’ve made so many healthy changes (both mentally and physically) this year, and I can owe a lot of that to having an accountability partner and several encouragers in my life. Whether it’s a friend, your partner, a family member or a trainer or health coach, I’m a big believer in accountability partners and here’s why:

Eating a piece of fried chicken versus a piece of grilled salmon will definitely have different effects on your body and how you feel!

My Journey to Body Positivity

On my journey toward living a happier, healthier life, I can’t help but to think back on how far I’ve come in the past 12 years. I would be lying if I said I’ve always had it together and been focused on my health, because that couldn’t be further from the truth. Although it’s a bit scary to open up about, I know it’s time to share my journey with you and get it all out there...
