Being Healthy



2013 has been a year of true resolution year for JP so far. Eating healthy, cut down coffee, exercise, quit social smoking, and cut down drinking tremendously. JP's newest addiction is breakfast smoothies! It's fun, it's yummy, it sets the tone for a cheerful day! ROARRR!

Veggie smoothies ingredients
- Apple
- Avocado
- Banana
- Blueberries
- Kiwi
- Orange
- Pear
- Cucumber
- Carrot
- Celery
- Spinach
- Bak Choi (Yup!)

WELL obviously not all of the above! So what I do is to pick whatever I have in the fridge and pick at least 2 fruits and 2 veggies and blend-away!! I started with only fruits and apparently it's too sugary and body stores them as fat... I think. BUT! Adding veggies will change the dynamics of your smoothie and balance out the sugar lever, yet you can only taste the fruits!

Tips:
- Banana is a must! I never liked banana before but it makes any smoothie tastes GREAT!
- Not a big fan of Celery... but putting in the smoothie is the only way that I'd . only add very little to your smoothie, like half a stalk or less. XD
- Cucumber is AWESOME coz you can't really taste it when it's mixed with fruits :)
- Spinach is very very very good.
- Bak Choi is the more cost effective version of spinach but doesn't taste as good.
- Recent favorite is Apple, Banana, Cucumber, Carrot, & a bit of Celery.

Cheers!
