How I eat more veggies and indulge in ‘me’ time

Eat more veggies.  Take time to myself.  Move my body.  Get more sleep.

Self care.

I’ve had a really rough year physically and emotionally, but I’m working on taking better care of myself.

My perfect “Me” day

My favorite way to spend “me time” is hitting a whole bunch of thrift shops.

Alone.

No one to whine, “Are you done yet?”

No one to ask, “Do you really need a giant statue of hot pink giraffe?”

Just me, walking the aisles and picking up whatever strikes my fancy.

I seek joy. Kon Mari thrifting. It takes time.

Really, the process is the joy.

I headed to a town an hour away last week after I dropped my daughter off at school to indulge in “me” time. Thrift shopping in other towns is always more fun to me. I seem to find better treasures.

I realized when I got off the interstate I hadn’t had breakfast.

And I was HUNGRY.

Hungry - Time for Smoothie King! #blendmoreveggies

HUNGRY!!!!

Fast, but not fast food

I passed several restaurants. French toast sounded good. Or biscuits and gravy. Or a burger and cheese fries.

But I’m trying to eat healthier.

I’m working on fueling my body with better choices, so I have more energy.

And I was ready to do some serious thrifting so I didn’t want to be sluggish!

I hit Smoothie King, just as I did the last time I went on a thrift adventure in this town. The man that works there is SO SUPER nice he seems transported from a long ago decade. I knew he’d whip up something delicious, healthy and filling.

Smoothie King is FAST, but not fast food.  They use whole ingredients like fruit, greens and Greek yogurt.

Eat more veggies by blending!

#BlendMoreVeggies at Smoothie King

Smoothie King has these great veggie blends. Throwing veggies in a smoothie is a great way to eat more vegetables. I love spinach and kale in my smoothies. It adds a yummy freshness. #BlendMoreVeggies, right?

I went with the Apple Kiwi Kale this time.  It featured kale, bananas, apple juice and kiwi juice.  It was refreshing and DELICIOUS!

I don’t like sugary sweet drinks.  This was just right.  Not overly sweet, but still sweet enough to taste like a thick and indulgent dessert.

For under 300 calories and with lots of fiber and vitamins to fuel my body.

YUM!

Eat more veggies – it tastes great in smoothie form!

I was totally fueled me for my thrift shop adventures!

Smoothie King to the rescue!

    I’d like to try the Veggie Avocado Pineapple Smoothie. I’d probably give this to my daughter though, as she loves Smoothie King.

    I tried making my own smoothie with kale before, and it tasted AWFUL, probably due to my inexperience with making smoothies. Now, I’m really excited about the kale smoothies because I want to learn how to add something super healthy into a smoothie and still have it taste amazing. Apple kiwi kale sounds enticing

    I think any fruit blend would be good, but I am particularly interested in strawberry mango.
