Smoothies are a delicious, healthy option for breakfast and snack. They are loaded with nutrients and pack several doses of fruit and veggies in one serving.

But are you taking your smoothies to their full potential? Is there something else you could add to make them even more nutritious for you?

Have a look at this guide below and see how your smoothies measure up:

Always add greens – You won’t be able to taste them, but you sure will benefit from their nutrition profile. I add at least a cup of spinach, and often more to all of my smoothies, and also supplement with greens powder. Together these both ensure that I get my daily dose of greens . That way, even if I don’t eat as well as I planned during the rest of the day, at least I know I will get my greens for the day!

We’ve all been there – we go to the airport, get through the security and are by our gate. Then, out of nowhere, we get hungry but we realize there isn’t much healthy food available.

There’s the option of going to the stores, but what does someone get when they’re there?

Luckily we’ve comprised a list of some of the healthier places to go and some of the healthy options to grab!

Sitting at a desk every day from 9 to 5 can become very tiring and cramped. It’s been proven that sitting at a desk for so many hours is unhealthy – it causes bad posture, stiff muscles, and more. Current studies are also showing that long periods of sitting can lead to obesity and cause other high-risk diseases like diabetes or cardiovascular issues!

Not only is that enough to stress you out while at work, but the actual work you’re doing at times can also cause high amounts of stress. The side effects that come along with stress are not healthy, so overall, our health is at risk the more we put our body through this.

There are ways around that. If you don’t feel comfortable doing yoga at your desk, at least set aside 15 minutes to do other movements – like walking, stretching, or other little things to get your body active.
