#1: KALE smoothie
I use a Magic Bullet so I fill the cup up about half way with nonfat milk, then rip up some fresh Kale into small pieces and put it in, about a cup of frozen blueberries, T of flaxseed oil, and my favorite Achieve Protein powder (vanilla) and then after I blend it I add a T of chia seeds. This smoothie packs lots of fiber, protein, healthy vitamins like the Bs and A and all the yummy vitamins in my special protein powder (turmeric), natural detoxifiers (Kale), calcium, antioxidants in the blueberries, and omega-3s! yum!
#2 NEW Greek yogurt: Apple Cinnamon Flavor (look for it in the grocery store, I think it's Oikos brand)- I just mixed it with bulk pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and slivered almonds for a hearty healthy long lasting snack!
#3 Crazy Synergy Kombucha Tea:
Have you heard of this? There has been a lot of hype about it lately so I decided to try it...so good!! This is one of many flavors (Guava Goddess is my favorite so far) but there are SO many, it's 2.99 at Fred Meyer which is a little much HOWEVER cheaper than an afternoon latte...it is also slightly carbonated (DO NOT SHAKE-I made that mistake and it was like a volcano) so it curbs cravings for something carbonated too! Health benefit claims: probiotics and powerful antioxidants, Vitamin B1,2,3,6 and 12, organic acids, aminos and electrolytes. Yum!
#4: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets to the Universe..GREAT book I just read...beautifully written, could be one of my favorites. Recommended new read that has already won some awards. (youth boys, discovery, letters, love, friendship, hardship, bullying, questions about self-worth and meaning)
#5 "ish"- such an adorable children's book! Don't squish anyones ish! (self esteem, confidence, creativity)
#6 Feminist Folktales?! Haha incase anyone has ever noticed it has been pointed out to me that common folktales as we know them all include a couple themes: the man is the hero, the woman is needy, pretty, not strong, in some cases dumb, etc. The only strong women are "witches" haha why is this? Is this good to teach our little girls? I still love Cinderella but this compilation of folktales from around the world are some alternatives, these folktales are all about the smart, strong, and independent woman:) Pretty interesting! Check it out!
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day everyone! Show EVERYONE some love tomorrow <3 They deserve it!
~ 1 Corinthians 13:4, 13 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~
Love is a LOT of things (if you haven't read 1 Corinthians 13 in a while go read it! But in the end love truly is the greatest xoxo
