How is everyone feeling now that we’re about half-way through the first month of 2020?! Hopefully, you’ve had a great start to the year and are feeling confident that you’ll be able to achieve anything you put your mind to this year, especially as it relates to your health and fitness journey! Speaking of health, you guys know I LOVE a good smoothie, which is why I wanted to round up my 4 favorite smoothies that will totally rock your world! Smoothies are a great way to add in more veggies and have a tasty, satisfying snack or meal! Feel free to customize these recipes to your liking (ie. add protein, hemp, chia, etc). I know I personally like to add some protein to my smoothies, either with a protein powder or in the form of Greek yogurt. I also like to have a balance of vegetables and fruit to ensure I’m getting a totally nutrient dense smoothie.
