Sometimes taking serious care of yourself means stepping outside of your comfort zone and getting the support you need. You don’t let yourself worry about the cost because the truth is, you’re making an investment in yourself, your health, and your future.

 

I did just that when I signed up for the Gut Rebuilding Program that I’m participating in right now.  (And I’m learning so much that I’m excited to share with you!)

 

My health journey has led me to much healthier habits over the last five years or so, but I needed a strong push to really reach my full potential and feel like I was doing everything I could for myself, and as a result, for my family.

 

Through the program, I have been aiming to eat as close to a 100% alkaline diet as possible, and I’ve been treating myself to some really delicious food.

 

I just made an amazing smoothie, and I wanted to share it with you because I haven’t shared a recipe for a while, and because smoothies are a great way to get a nutrient dense meal or snack while you are preparing your body for pregnancy, or are already pregnant.  They are great at home or on the go, and they are so versatile.

 

Green smoothies are all the rage (and yummy and good for you, no doubt), but today’s is a gorgeous purple and it’s boosting my energy, giving me clarity and focus, and nourishing my body.
