Have you heard of 100 days of active? It's pretty self-explanatory, basically you commit to doign something active for 100 straight days. I first heard of the idea from the lovely Eryn over at A Glimpse Into Eryn's World. When I read it I thought to myself, this is exactly the accountability I need to work on my goal of being more active!
I started the same day she did, and I will admit that the second day I kind of slipped, it was a really busy day and I was traveling so I didn't get in my goal of 30 minutes. But that's okay, because I know that it's pushed me to do more than I would have without it. The other days (admittedly, it's only been three other days) I've totally rocked it and I'm just going to focus on the positive!
I've been enjoying posting pics to Instagram using #100daysofactive and Eryn has even set up a Facebook group for us!
You should totally join along, and with all that extra moving you're going to be doing, you'll probably need something healthy AND delicious to help you stay with it! I love this banana nut muffin protein smoothie so I pulled it out of the archives for you to check out!
Try it and you'll wonder to yourself how this could possibly be good for you at all, honestly, it is so rich and creamy. It's the perfect thing on those mornings when you're craving something sweet. Don't be afraid to throw some spinach in it! It doesn't change the flavor at all! Click {here} for the recipe.
I am also participating in the 100 Days of Active. It's definitely harder than I was expecting! That smoothie looks super good!
ReplyDeleteIt is really creamy and delicious Lexi, I'm actually craving it right now! :)
DeleteI can't get the consistency of my smoothies to turn out right! They either have chunks of ice or my blender (a nice one) makes them super thick like ice cream. Do you have any tips??

Hmm... I was going to say a really good blender, but you say you have one. I have a Ninja and it's awesome. I know a lot of people swear by their Blendtec, but I can't justify spending that much money on a blender. Whenever I have a problem of them being too thick, I just add more liquid (milk or juice depending on what I'm making). :) Pulse several times before blending. It also helps if you freeze whatever ingredients you can, that way sometimes you don't even need to add ice!
DeleteI love smoothies!! I'll have to try this one out.
ReplyDeleteYum! This smoothie sounds really good!!! I'm going to have to try it!
