Ingredients Strawberry, Citrus, Coconut Oat Smoothie Recipe

  • Strawberries- Packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food. They are among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium.
  • Vanilla fat-free Greek yogurt- provides a high-protein, low-calorie snack packed with calcium and probiotics. However, flavored varieties often contain added sugars, so checking the nutrition label for sugar content is essential to maximize its health perks. 
  • Coconut milk- is a nutrient-dense, lactose-free dairy alternative that contains medium-chain triglycerides to provide quick energy, lauric acid for immune support against infections, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium to assist with heart health and muscle function.
  • Coconuts- are especially high in manganese, which is essential for bone health and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol. They’re also rich in copper and iron, which help form red blood cells, as well as selenium, an important antioxidant that protects your cells.
  • Oats- are among the healthiest grains on earth. They’re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Studies show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of heart disease. I prefer to use whole grain oats because they hold up better that quick oats for baking. Did you know that oats in any form help to lower bad cholesterol, are rich in antioxidants, and a great source of fiber! 
  • Lime juice- provides a rich source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and citric acid. These nutrients help support immune function, promote skin collagen production, aid iron absorption from plant foods, and prevent kidney stones through citrate content. 
  • Agave- has fructans and saponins which improve have an anti-inflammatory function in a body. It also gives a boost to the immune system. It contains inulin which is responsible to decrease your appetite, can improve nutrient absorption, and can provide the benefit of added dietary fiber.

Fit Friday with Nichole:

Today I am taking a slightly different approach to Fit tips for this week. We all know, at least I am hoping we all do, that this weekend is Mother’s Day so today I want to focus on some tips to be a healthy mom. Now these tips aren’t just for mom’s, each and every one of you can take away something from this list, so pay attention!

I understand the crazy struggles of being a mom. I have many new clients come in to tell me that their children are out of the house, so now it is mom’s turn to take care of herself. This is not healthy mom’s, you need to be taking care of yourself from the get go, no when you are a middle age-over weight woman.

So let’s talk about a few tips to keep you healthy now:

1) Consider yourself important too. Yes, I know your kids are important, and the house, and your husband….but so are you! Putting everyone and everything before you on your list of importance only leads to a frazzled, over whelmed, and burned out mom.

2) Stop trying to multitask all the time. Again…it leads to a frazzled, over whelmed, and burned out mom. Nothing ends up getting done in a timely manner or correctly. This brings us to the next one…

3) Prioritize. Decide what truly has to be done today. And remember to make yourself a priority! Decide what your goals are, both short term and long term, and prioritize your day accordingly. If you have a goal to lose your pregnancy weight, run a 5k, or fit into that pair of jeans hiding in the back of you closet you need to prioritize some time to workout, plan and prepare healthy meals, and sleep.

4) Learn to say no. Look at what you can actually achieve and stick with it. You don’t need to be on the PTA, babysit your neighbors kids, run the community recycling program, and try to fit in work and your own family. It is ok to say no and only take on what truly works for you and yours.

5) Remember who you are…I am not just Nora’s mom (my baby of 4) I am Nichole. I have my own hobbies, interests, and life beyond my kids.
