Wellness Wednesday

There are many factors that go into being either a successful or unsuccessful person.  Do you have more habits on the successful side or the unsuccessful side.  If you are looking for ways to be better try and adopt as many of the habits on the left side of the picture below!  

Tasty Tuesday

We usually associate smoothies with a breakfast replacement meal... but I prefer to use them as a snack or dessert.  Smoothies are filled with fruits that make a delicious and nutritious treat that can help curb your cravings for other sweet treats! Although fruit is filled with sugar, it's also filled with fiber, vitamins, and minerals that offset the amount of natural sugar found in the fruit.  Give this recipe a try when you want a nutritious treat that won't push you back!!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup water
• 2 cups fresh or thawed pineapple chunks
• 1 medium ripe avocado, halved and pitted
• 2 cups spinach
• 1/2 cup ice cubes

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender in the order listed.  Blend until smooth.
