Hey there peeps, no long time no see. It pains me to think how long it’s been since I shared some smoothie goodness with you, but life (and fatherhood) haven’t left me with much time to post. Today’s smoothie is the product of circumstance. The only things ingredients I had in the fridge that day were red apples, strawberries, celery and kale. I never combined apples and strawberries, so i figured I’d give it a go. I also decided to kick it up a notch with some cinnamon powder and powdered peanut butter. The results were so good, that I made this smoothie for 2 consecutive days. Give it a try and lemme know what you think.
2 cups Organic Kale
1 Red Apple (Cored)
1 Cup Organic Celery
1/2 Cup Organic Strawberries
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon Powder
2 Tablespoons Slim Powdered Peanut Butter
1 Cup Vanilla Almond Milk
FOOD KEY:
– Kale: vitamins, A, B6 &C, potassium, copper, folic acid, calcium, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and zinc (MEGA-STACKED!!)
– Apples: potassium, vitamin C and pectin (helps control cholesterol and blood sugar)
– Celery: potassium, folic acid and vitamins C & B6
– Strawberries: vitamins C & B5, potassium, folic acid and magnesium
– Cinnamon: fiber, calcium, good for digestion
– Powdered Peanut Butter: protein, fiber and potassium
Today’s workout is a super quick HIIT workout that focuses on the lower body. It’s only 10 minutes, but I was definitely feeling it afterwards. It incorporates some of my least favorite, albeit most effective, exercises including the dreaded star jumps. Enjoy, lol.
You win father of the year award in my book!!
