My Pink Passion

Image
By
For those who know me, knows that my favorite color is pink... So why not make it into a healthy drink... I actually tried my first pink juice @ Peeled juice bar and I found it to be very refreshing...


So I created my very own version of it but as a smoothie... I call it "Pink Passion"... The star ingredient of this smoothie are beets. YES!!! you heard it right BEETS!!!

Beets cleanses the liver, purifies the blood, it is also a anti-inflammatory, and a great source of iron.. And by my being anemic, this is a smoothie that I will benefit from drinking everyday.. I know some of you may think Beets, "YUCK"... But don't knock it 'til you try it... This is one smoothie that you will be wanting more of and it will also give you a boost of energy.



 Pink Passion Smoothie

1 small beet
Frozen Pineapples
1 pear
Fresh Ginger
Coconut Water


 Combine all ingredients in your blender until smooth and enjoy this beautiful concoction of pink passion... (If you all are wondering the pink color comes from the mixture of the beets with the pineapple). Drink one of these for a snack instead of an unhealthy snack and you will surely see the difference within your body... Enjoy!!!
OAN: Please go pink for breast cancer... Everyday is breast awareness, and all women should have a mammogram even if there isn't any family history. There are many websites that you can go on to make a donation, volunteer or even join some of the great marathons to help raise money for the cause...   One of them being Susan G Komen's website, where you can register for the upcoming 5K event on Mother's Day.

Day 1 - 7 day detox back to fitness and weight loss journey

By
Today, I started Day 1 of my 7 day detox to cleanse my body and to give myself a jumpstart back on my fitness and weight loss journey. Well, how did it go? I flopped!!! My motivation was there but I was starving by the time I made it home form work... I drunk my ACV and Green smoothie for breakfast, My cabbage soup for lunch and had plenty of water, but I have to get my body back to this lifestyle. I have taken a long break because it has been so much going on within this past year from March 2016 I broke my toe and a lot in my personal life has been going on. So stress eating began and even though the foods I was eating were healthy choices, too much healthy foods can pack on pounds as well especially when majority of them are high carbs and you're not working out. My goal is to lose 60 pounds by my birthday which is on September 9th with a well balanced meal plan (meal prepping) and exercise 4-5 days a week. So please continue to follow my journey with me for great tips on how ...

The Perfect Diet Plan

By
Is there a such thing as a perfect diet plan? All I know is, the less calories you take in if you are wanting to lose weight. The more you have to take in if you are building muscle.. But the "perfect" meal plan NO!.. Every meal plan does not work for everybody.. You must go by a low calorie meal plan that works for you. Stay away from sugar, processed foods, fried foods and high calorie foods and drink half of your body weight in ounces of water. Back to the basics. I have been on a continuous struggle with losing this last 25 pounds for over a year now. Listening to and doing all of these different diet plans, switching things up because this person said that you should do this and another person says that you shouldn't do that. Different trainers do different things, and depending on how close of a relationship you have with your personal trainer if you have one, you will not exceed those goals until you take the initiative and push yourself to the limits for yoursel...
