 Acai Berry- just 1 of the many great ingredients in Shakeology! Acai berries are amongst the healthiest fruits on Earth. They're packed with antioxidants, healthy omega fats, protein & fiber. They have a fatty acid ratio similar to olive oil which is considered to be a contributing factor to the low incide...nce of heart disease in Mediterranean populations.

Quinoa (sprouted) A recently rediscovered ancient "grain" native to South America, quinoa was once called "the gold of the Incas," who recognized its value in increasing the stamina of their warriors. Not only is quinoa high in protein, but the protein it supplies is complete protein, meaning that it includes all nine essential amino acids.

Summer Heat

The last two weeks I have really struggled with my workouts. I am blaming the heat. Once I get the boys down I just want to veg, eat lunch, and take a nap! Most days I have (and it is important to listen to your body at times) but I was afraid it was starting to become too frequent. In the mornings I have been hitting snooze and staying in the bed until I HAVE to get up. Today I am blogging as I decide which workout I want to do. I know once I press play and do it I will feel so much better. It's like the principle of never over eating. I hardly ever over eat...I would say never but I have learned never to say never :) Even on thanksgiving or Christmas or birthdays. Why? I dont like how it makes me feel...immediatley after or the next day. The same goes for healthy habits. I don't like how not working out two days in a row makes me feel. I don't like how not drinking enough water makes me feel. What are you doing or not doing right now that gives you a not so great feeling? Can you find a reasonable alternative? For me, today, I am going to go drink some ice cold water, and press play. Because every decision and every day counts. It's friday afternoon but you can still make today count. Go get it!

Spotlight on Almonds

Almonds contain more than 20 antioxidants. Eating almonds as part of a healthy diet can helpyou lose 62 percent more weight than a diet without almonds. Plus achieve a 50 percent greater reduction in waist size and 56 percent greater reduction on body fat. Almonds also contain vitamin E which helps fight premature aging and wrinkles. Whole , raw, almonds are the best way to go. Try steaming a large sweet potato and sprinkle on almonds and a little sea salt and/or cinnamon. By the way, did you know cinnamon plays a role in regualting blood sugar AND it was used in the holy annointing of the tabernacle. (thanks to http://www.whfoods.org/)
