Today, I did some makeover work in my kitchen--food wise. I threw away everything I had bought for myself in the past that was not healthy. For the past few years, I would say that 80% of the food we buy is organic. I am really striving towards completely organic, but it's a challenge when a good store like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's is not available. I sent recommendations to Trader Joe's hoping they will place a store here. I really believe it would do well in our community as we have many health conscious people.
Anyway, I threw away a protein powder as I was surprised it contained so many unnecessary ingredients. Some of which I could not even pronounce. This led me to sit down and do some major research in order to find the cleanest whey protein powder available. This is the one I was led to, it has no artificial flavors or sweeteners.

I made a delicious afternoon smoothie with the new powder combined with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, spinach and half a frozen banana, Delicious!!

Yesterday, I made a quick trip to the grocery store. I needed spinach, fruit and almond milk. As I was checking out, the cashier, on the next lane, noticed I had 2 huge bins of spinach. She said, "Wow! That is a lot of spinach, what are you going to do with all that?" I then proceeded to tell her about my smoothies. She was intrigued and without customers waiting to checkout, we got to chat for a few minutes. I could tell she was genuinely interested and I told her she definitely needed to give it a shot! I hope she does!
I love fresh fruit and spinach! :) I am ready for all the delicious fruits and vegetables spring and summer bring!
Until next time, I hope you have a blessed day!
