Stairs

.These stairs - and two other sets similar to this one - are at a park near my house. My husband has been climbing up and down them as part of his exercise regime for a couple of weeks now. He challenged me to do them and I accepted. It's 416 steps round trip. I walked from our home to the park, went up and down theses stairs and walked home. It was a heck of a workout that I am still feeling the day after! I can't wait to do this again - probably tomorrow. 

Wild Blueberry smoothie

This smoothie is delicious and good for you! Also, with only five ingredients it is really quick and easy to make, too! I originally got the recipe from the Medical Medium blog.

Ingredients:
1 cup wild blueberries
2 bananas
2 dates, soaked
1/2 lemon
1 cup of water

Directions:
Combine the wild blueberries, bananas, dates, and water in the blender. Add the juice from half a lemon. Blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined. Serves 1-2

I double the entire recipe so it will serve four. It is DELICIOUS and good for you! Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Wild Blueberry smoothie

I've made this twice this week and it is DELICIOUS! My kids are drinking it and loving it, too! This is a great thing because this smoothie is loaded with nutrition and flavor!

An apple a day...

I've been reading Life Changing Foods by Anthony William. He recommends one apple per day for kids and two for adults. There is so much wonderful information in this book about staying healthy through eating a plant based diet. I know the things we've tried in our family have been beneficial already. I'm ready to try his recommendations with a higher level of commitment. I think my husband is there, as well.
