Healthy Hydration

I have a confession...

I do not like drinking water. I know, shocking!!! But sometimes the thought of a glass water is just...boring.

Yesterday after finishing my second cup of coffee and contemplating a third, I realized that something needed to change. The office is so cold that the thought of water was even more unappealing then normal. I had read somewhere about drinking hot water with a lemon slice in it. Strange, but why not give it a try.

I bought a lemon on my lunch break and sliced it using the office birthday cake cutting knife :)

Loved it! so refreshing and warm!!

And pretty :) I felt healthier and more hydrated.

Do you drink enough water? What are somethings you do to drink more?

You Put Spinach in Your Smoothie?!

This is the reaction I get whenever I share my new obsession with people.

The answer is yes! You don't taste it at all, it provides a nice green coloring (MY favorite color :) ), and is a great way to sneak in some veggies!

Everyday Smoothie
inspired by: Green Monster Movement
I call this my everyday smoothie because it is the base that I use. Call it a jumping off point! It is fabulous just like this but then you can get creative with additions.

• 3/4 cup vanilla almond milk (unsweet)
• 2 handfuls of spinach, dont be shy!
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• half a frozen banana
• 4 ice cubes

Blend, Blend, Blend and Voila!

Some of my favorite additions: 

• frozen strawberries
• frozen raspberries
• peanut flour
• cinnamon
• pumpkin (again you can't taste it!)
• coco powder

Today I topped mine with some chocolate covered sunflower seeds. A gift from my friend Jenny!

Bon Appetit!
