Smoothies for breakfast?

We all seem to be rushing to get out the door in the morning, so its not easy to eat right. We run out the door with an empty stomach and run into our local coffee shop where we are tempted with the latest sugary, carb loaded, breakfast options.   I have a way to help combat the urge to buy that donut....try a quick smoothie before you leave the house.

Here's my favorite one:

  • 1 cup of almond, hemp or brown rice milk
  • 1 scoop of Vegan Protien Powder (I use SunWarrior brand)
  • 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1-2 tbsp either organic flax oil or ground flaxseed
  • large handful of organic spinach, kale or collards or serving of a complete greens powder like Synergy Core Greens
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • purified water as needed
This shake will help get the metabolism going so that you'll be able to get rid of the stuff you don't want and have the energy to get through the morning.

Enjoy!

Hooping?

One of the latest crazes in the yoga world and in fitness is Hooping. You can find numerous DVD's, YouTube video clips, books, and classes on hooping.  Would you try a hooping class?

I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in hooping for fun, fitness and the spiritual high!  Think of how much you can impress your friends.

Last year I bought a  hoop and have used it off and on over the past year.  Since then, my daughter Nicole started her own hooping company called  Buddha Belly Hoops.  She is a hooping genius and amazing to watch...I cannot hoop nearly well enough to do her moves but she is an amazing teacher. She also offers classes where you can make your own hoop, and learn to hoop.  Not crafty?  No problem, because she takes custom orders for hoops using any color that you want.  

I'll be scheduling a hooping exhibition at the studio soon.  Maybe I'll see you there.
