Healthy Food CAN taste good!

As you might expect, I think our chips taste great; almost TOO good to be as healthy as they are! But it's easy to put healthy stuff in your body; and you can get creative about it too. Lately I've been making a smoothie each morning that's super easy and super healthy:

10oz Plain Kefir
1/2 bag frozen Organic Wild Blueberries
1 pack Sambazon frozen plain Acai (sold in natural foods stores as a 4-pack)

Put them all in a blender and let it whirl!

I eat very little manufactured/refined sugar so I like that the only sweetness in this smoothie comes from the fruits! The combination of blueberries and Acai makes this an absolute POWERHOUSE of antioxidants and natural energy while the kefir provides me with satiety and a great dose of probiotics. I usually eat an apple or raw food bar (I love Larabars) mid-morning and my energy level stays nice an even and I never get that sudden need to gorge that comes from a drastic change in blood sugar.

You could obviously try all sorts of different combinations of ingredients that suit your tastes and dietary needs. Try it out and see!
