SMOOTHIE TRAIN

I don't know about you, but this winter got me in a bit of a health slump. My pants are feeling a weeeeee bit tighter than usual. To be fair, I did start a new job in December out in CT so making time to workout while doing the reverse commute has been an adjustment. And then there was #Juno.

All excuses aside I have decided its time to clean up my act and have deemed April: Smoothie Month. I am going to try to have a smoothie for breakfast OR dinner everyday for the month of April--notice I picked a month with 30 days ;)

Check out a few of the recipes I plan to try from my friend Jenni at Bliss Body and my favorite new cookbook Deliciously Ella!
