Ready for challenge fourteen?
First, before we get into the challenge I wanted to share with you that I will now be sharing my Health Storylines Challenges once per month vs. weekly. So you will only be seeing a new challenge around the 1st of each month going forward. This will give you the opportunity to really focus on the challenge at hand and get used to incorporating it into your healthy lifestyle so that it becomes a habit. It takes more than a week to make a permanent change or to really see the entire benefit to make you want to keep going. Hopefully this will make things feel less overwhelming because these challenges should be something to help you make improvements in the long term not just the short term. Ok, now lets talk challenge fourteen!
This months challenge is to swap one meal a day with a smoothie. Seriously easy isn’t it? All you have to do is throw your favorite fruits, veggies and add ins into a smoothie one time per day and drink it. It may be an easy challenge that will require minimal effort on your part but the nutrient benefit is huge. Smoothies are great because you can add so many veggies, fruit and other super foods into one small compact drink. I always say if you have at least one nutrient dense smoothie a day it’s hard to do wrong the rest of the day. Giving your body what it needs helps to set you up for success in making healthy choices overall.
