\"Big<\/p>\n

So much fun happening around here.<\/p>\n

Lots of smoothies…and I mean, BIG smoothies! The smoothie in the above picture is correctly named the “Big Boy” smoothie from the THM book<\/a>. People, if you want yummy, low sugar recipes –\u00a0 this book is where it’s at. If you follow my Instagram<\/a> channel, you’ll notice I use a lot of their recipes.<\/p>\n

I’ve loved seeing all the activity on Twitter<\/a>! YOU GUYS make me smile!<\/p>\n

\"#colourfulsmoothie\"<\/p>\n

Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with smoothies and just make a recipe over and over again (because if it tasted good once, it’ll taste good again right?!). However, this challenge<\/a> is not just about smoothies…I want to get creative, try new low sugar recipes<\/a>, and not get stuck in doing the same thing.<\/p>\n

\"Almond<\/p>\n

I love topping my smoothies with chia seeds and almond slices, but I’ve noticed a lot of creativity from the peeps doing the challenge. From millet puffs, pumpkin seeds, goji berries, fruit slices, and layers of spirulina, you guys are getting creative. This makes me realize I NEED to step up my game, haha. Next up: something magical.<\/p>\n

\"French<\/p>\n

I’ve been picking smoothie recipes from my collection of low sugar recipes<\/a> – this one is the french toast protein shake from Dashing Dish<\/a>. I love Katie!<\/p>\n

\"Vega<\/p>\n

We were at a wedding last weekend and I didn’t bring my blender…so I brought the next best thing…my Blender Bottle<\/a>! I grabbed some yogurt from the hotel breakfast room and added some milk and Vega sport protein powder. NO EXCUSES for me. I’m going to KILL this challenge!<\/p>\n

\"Low<\/p>\n

Hoping you’ll have a magical day full of fruits and veggies! xo<\/p>\n
