Raspberry-Orange Smoothie Recipe
For Christmas, Santa brought us a Blendtec blender and we've been having a lot of fun trying out different uses. It’s fabulous! We used to have an old (about 20 years old) Osterizer. So, this fancy, new and far more powerful machine is certainly a change.
We've done some blending of various things (flax seeds to make flour/powder and almonds to make almond butter) but, so far, we've mostly used it for making great tasting vegetable and fruit smoothies. For healthy veggie smoothies, you just throw in the chunks (and I do mean chunks) of veggies, select the right setting, push the button and walk away.
What Are Your Fitness Goals For 2013 . . And Beyond?
Are YOU like Calvin and, as far as you're concerned, think that you're perfect the way you are? Probably not. In fact, when asked, a majority of us will readily admit that there are things about ourselves that we’d like to, or are planning to, change or improve. One of the things most often revealed as needing change is our physical fitness and health. It seems that, during our busy day-to-day lives, we can find the time for a lot of other “stuff”, but ensuring that we’re fit and healthy doesn’t usually make the priority list.
Let’s Get Physical!
“Let's get physical, physical, I wanna get physical, let's get into physical. Let me hear your body talk”
Just like that quote from Olivia Newton-John’s song “Physical”, we want you to get physical. We want you to get out, into the great and wonderful outdoors, and do something physical. Tights, leg warmers and headbands are optional. But, for the sake of your health, you should walk, run, cycle, play a sport or (our personal preference) join an Alter Ego Fitness bootcamp.
