Fuel

Here’s the deal. A part of me wishes I was one of those people who just eat to live rather than live to eat but I’ve decided to fine tune either thought process because there is just too much of a gray area there for me. I think that food can be as amazing as you want it to be and there’s nothing wrong to live to eat as long as you are doing right by your body and supporting its functions by putting good things in it, practicing moderation and exercising regularly. 

One of my passions is cooking and putting together healthy dishes that can make the most fastidious eater change their perceptions and loving every bite.  I particularly like the “I don’t really like vegetables” type of person…look out I will change your mind! But I digress, my point is I am using this medium to share this passion, this fuel that we all run on.

Ideally I have this every morning for my first breakfast (yes I said first...I eat about every two hours..small meals, 5 to 6 a day)...but by "ideally" that is to assume that I get up on time and never run late and have time to make this most amazing smoothie.

Kale or GREEN Smoothie

Kale - 1 cup (rip leaves off stem and throw away stem)

Frozen Mixed Berries - 1 cup (no sugar added)

Half of a frozen Banana

Flax Seed Meal - 2 tbsp

Cold Water - 1 cup

Blend and enjoy!
