Postpartum Recovery + GIVEAWAY

admin — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 04:12:52 +0000

Postpartum Recovery + a yummy GIVEAWAY!! June 27th, 2017 sweet Adaline was born. My world will forever be changed. For the better of course, but at the moment that world consists of very little sleep and very little time to worry about anything other than what’s most important in my life, which is my daughter. (still crazy to think I have a little daughter!!) The fact that I am just now writing this post should give you an idea of how I have been managing my time. I thought I was going to have a lot more down time on my maternity leave. That baby would be chill and sleep often while I blog here and there, make dinner for the hubs before he comes home and take her out and about with out any worry. Welp, it’s been quite the opposite. To be honest, I don’t think I put too much thought in to it at all, which was part of the problem. I knew it was going to be tough taking care of an infant but I don’t think anyone can be fully mentally prepared. It’s more like a transition. A transition from uncomfortable sleep while pregnant, to just […]

Puree Juice Cleanse

I just finished my very last juice of a 3 day juice cleanse founded locally in Bethesda, MD called Puree Artisan Juice Bar. Once or twice a year I like to do a 3 day juice cleanse to help motivate me to eat healthier in the new year or get back on track. The ingredients consists of only water and fresh unpasteurized fruit and vegetable juices. In the past I have tried Blue Print and Cooler Cleanse which were delivered from NY. All three were pretty comparable in price ($150-175), however for fellow Washingtonians the Puree ends up cheaper when factoring shipping and handling. It was also quite rewarding to support a local small business and their juices were surprisingly all delicious and satisfying. I definitely will be using them again! I started off with the classic 3 day cleanse, which includes 18 juices (6 per day), 3 beet shots and a ginger shot. The green juice in comparison to the previous 2 companies was the most delicious and the carrot juice tasted like dessert to me. I also enjoyed the beet shots rather than making it into a full 16oz drink (not a huge beet fan). The ginger shot was to […]

Mean Green Morning

Michelle Martin — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 02:37:57 +0000

My sister bought me the Nutribullet for Christmas which I love and have used every day! I love juicing but it can be difficult and time-consuming to clean. The Nutribullet is so much easier for daily use (especially in the morning before work) and doesn’t remove of all the fiber as a juicer may. The skin and pulp of the fruits and veggies are full of fiber and where most of the vitamins and minerals are housed. If you discard these parts, you’re throwing out the most beneficial portions of the produce!!! I wanted to share my breakfast smoothie that I drink every morning and swear by for an energy packed, nutritious day! I call it the Mean Green. You can easily make this in any blender but the Nutribullet is great for on the go as you just pop the lid on and go! For 1 serving the smoothie consists of .. 1. Half of a pear 2. Quarter of a avocado (not shown below) 3. Cut up a pineapple to your desire and add 4 to 5 pieces (key ingredient to making this taste good!) 4. Handful of Kale (pick the stems out) 5. One table spoon of […]
