Spring is a natural time to take stock of our health and to shed excess weight gained during the winter months. Nature provides many springtime foods that help the body do this naturally.
And don't forget to check out our delicious monthly recipes. Healthy and easy-to-make, this month we feature Berry Delicious.
Let's spring ahead together, why don't we?
Berry Delicious
I love using fresh berries when they are in season. I often buy extra and freeze them for later use. What I love about this smoothie is that it’s so easy and quick to make. It takes virtually 5 minutes to pop these ingredients into my NutriBullet. The protein powder, which is optional, helps to keep me satisfied and mentally sharp until lunch.
