day 14 - 25 days of wellness
Hi there! I’ve seen a couple of people I follow do Advent calendars for various things - 1000 Hours Outside has one for outdoor family activities, and Nutritious Movement has one for movement to create a “butt for the holidays” haha. So good.
So here we go - I’m going to drop a little post each day on a little Wellness tidbit for you to consider. Enjoy!
DAY 14 - smoothies
When your digestive system can handle fiber, smoothies are an excellent way to pack in nutrients WITH the fiber.
There are so many recipes out there. Here are some basic formulas...
4 cups water
1-2 summer squash or zucchini OR 1-2 bananas
2 cups fresh or frozen fruit like berries, mangos, peaches, melons
1 cup leafy greens or 1-2 tablespoons powdered greens (I like Dr. Christopher’s Jurassic Greens) and/or spirulina.
1/2-1 cup cashews, hemp seeds, almonds, or peanut butter (or a nut milk)
1-2 tbsp flaxseeds
dates, honey, or maple syrup to taste
Add ice-cubes to desired temperature/consistency
Of course, there’s always the old standby... Instead of fruit add cacao or carob powder and raw honey or maple syrup to taste. Voila - chocolate “mylk”-shake
See you on Day 15!
