Truth::Veggies are better than pills and other tidbits! 

Why going vegan was a far better decision than taking pills.

What I really think about those pills.

How I learned to respect and appreciate exercise,

And other nifty tidbits. 

It was just the beginning...

It all began just about a year ago, I thought my life was over. As it turned out, it was just the beginning of something more wonderful.       C.I.P.

Because.... I love myself

Why do I work out almost every single day, even when I may not feel like it?  Because I love myself enough to stick with it!


Love yourself enough to take care of you!

Out with the old, in with the new! (And a recipe too!)

I was not feeling well this weekend so I took a nap and before I knew it, I slept through lunch. When I woke up I was starving! Knowing I had a history of making "bad" food choices when I'm hungry, the first thing I did was prepare a healthy smoothie so I could grab hold of the hunger then make a smart meal choice with a clear mind. I do believe the old habits are officially out of here! 

My smoothie of choice? A banana, almond milk smoothie with a scoop of vegan protein powder.

Because smoothies and juices are part of the secret to my success, I can't keep this yummy healthy treat to myself, the recipe is below.  Its a great snack or meal replacement, I often enjoy one of these for breakfast or as an after workout boost. Give it a try the next time you want a delicious and satisfying treat!  

Banana almond milk smoothie recipe:

1 ripe banana

6oz of unsweetened almond milk

dash of organic cinnamon 

1 teaspoon of organic vanilla extract

1/2 scoop of Plant Fusion (unflavored) plant based protein powder

1 tablespoon agave nectar. 

Ice     

Blend and enjoy!
