Day 4 of 28 Days of Raw & Green Smoothie Challenge

Is it already day 4?

Raw Super bowl chili turned out great.  Even my hubby, liked it.  Very fresh and not too heavy. If you missed it just click on the following link to find the recipe.

Monday's are tough aren't they? Most of us get weekends off and then we are thrown back into the grind Monday mornings with waking up early, and heading out for a busy work day, only to come back home tired and hungry.  Often after a busy work day exercise and eating well is the farthest things from our minds.

That is why thinking ahead will keep you in the game of maintaining good health.  I'm not saying you have to spend your entire weekend preparing foods.  There are so many convenient raw foods out there that you can purchase and have on hand.  Opt for the prepared salad kits and veggies that are already washed and chopped for you.

I have noticed that on the shelves of the produce isles there is more & more organic items that are reasonably priced and ready to go.  I have always bought kale, washed and deveined it myself, chopped it up and had it ready and waiting in my refrigerator to toss into a salad or smoothie at any time.  But now you can find baby kale mixed with other greens right on the shelves, ready to go.  How convenient!

So when you are in a pinch and would rather spend some time taking part in your favourite fitness activity than standing at the kitchen counter washing, chopping and dicing, splurge and pick up some raw sweet goodness that is already to go!

Eating raw and staying healthy is getting easier and easier to do.  You know what?  It's actually getting harder to make up an excuse too!

Stay healthy everyone and have a RAW-some Monday!

Good Morning Sunshine Smoothie

1/2 cup fresh or frozen pineapple
