My friend, Haylie, worded this so well... I wanted to share! Food for thought 👇

Most people know they’re not eating enough fruits and vegetables everyday (it's hard 🤦🏼‍♀️) so 70% of Americans turn to vitamin supplements. But let’s talk about the difference between vitamins and whole food.

A vitamin has 35-50 isolated nutrients in it, whereas an apple has 10,000 nutrients in it! 😮 Each fruit or vegetable has thousands and they work together to protect our bodies. 🤩

There’s no comparison – vitamins barely scratch the surface as far as potential or effectiveness! Science (and history) is telling us over and over to get our nutrients from whole food instead of from isolated nutrients. 🍎

There's a phrase in a book I'm reading right now that says, "your thoughts are showing"! I love that statement! I am going to do better to be mindful of the thoughts I am having, since our thoughts lead us toward or away from living out our full potential! Have a Thoughtful Thursday! 🥰

"There is joy in being free. There is joy in being ambitious. But the most joy comes from letting go of that fear of not doing—and choosing exactly what to do in the moments you do have."

FOND whispers in your ear: 'You could be doing so much, so why aren’t you?'

I subscribed to a daily positivity/motivational thing on FB Messenger (did you know you could do that?) This was today's message, and I really liked it - thought maybe someone else needed to hear it too! ✨👇

"In Finland, 'sisu' is a way of life. Roughly translated, it means having a "courageous mindset that embraces challenges, small & big." It's your inner strength.

Today, turn to your sisu if things get tough. A stressful meeting, difficult convo, even a coffee spill—recognize it's challenging, but trust you have the power to endure."

✨You have the power to endure.✨

To Keto-diet or not?!?? 🤔🤔🤔

“Among these experts is Dr. Kim Williams, the former president of the American College of Cardiology. While he admits that the science makes sense if you are looking for quick weight loss, it may come at an incredibly steep price – weight loss in exchange for lifespan. Which do you deem to be the most important in your life?”

I know a few people trying the keto diet or who are cutting carbs, so I am sharing this for you - please know, there is a better, more sustainable lifestyle out there that will prolong your life rather than endanger it! The weight loss may come more slowly, but it will happen in a safe and effective way.

Fad diets come and go in our society much in the same way that clothing and hairstyles do, with a new one making headlines every time we turn around. Each comes with their own elaborate claims to draw you in, like improved health, incredible weight loss or the ability to fight cancer, but are they.....

Happy National Honeybee Day!

My smoothie helper! This morning we made smoothie bowls. As a mom, I'm so thankful for these since Emma seems to prefer snacking lately... and of course, I want to make sure she's getting the right nutrition for her growing body and developing brain! I snuck so many good things into the smoothie, and she is on her second helping!

I also have the peace of mind that even if she mostly snacks, at least she's getting the micronutrition of 30 fruits, veggies and berries every day... and that goes for me too, since I don't eat perfectly either!

Bonus, she keeps asking for more "nuts" on her smoothie bowl - seeds (and nuts too) are such a great way to add fiber to your diet!

👉 Kombucha available! 🍶🍹
I had about a gallon and a half finish up at the same time, so I have enough to share! 🎉 If you have 1️⃣️ never tried kombucha before and 2️⃣️ are looking for a delicious, natural source of probiotics (yay, gut health!), minerals, B vitamins, antioxidants and aminos - then give me a shout! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Even though we ate fairly healthy, it was not until I was introduced to this that I realized how little variety of vine-ripened 🍎🍋🍇🍍 and 🍅🍆🌱🍄 we actually consumed on a daily basis - it was nowhere near the 7-13 recommended daily servings!

No, this isn't a replacement for the real thing, but it helps fill in the gap to provide the nutrients our bodies need from the best source of nutrients that nature intended!

Do you know deep down you could feel better than you do now?
Are you not sure where or how to start?
What if I told you: "you can take it slow, one simple change at a time!"?
Because you can.
Big journeys occur over the span of many small steps. I'm here as your guide!

I am participating in a 10 day Summer Smoothie Challenge and I'm loving the new recipes that others are sharing! Smoothies are such a great way to sneak in extra plant foods - it is so important to eat as many fruits and veggies as we can every day! Today's plant based smoothie -

1 cup Almond/Cashew milk
1 cup orange juice
1 frozen banana
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup spinach
1 scoop Vanilla Complete
Half an avocado
Ice cubes

How many plants can you eat today??
