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

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.
