COOL DOWN & STRETCH

 

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

Sweet Potato Fries 

There's lots of recipes for this on the internet, but I like this recipe because it adds in protein.
I buy my sweet potatoes either diced or cut up like fries already, but you can certainly peel and cut your own.
In a bowl mix 3 egg whites, sea salt, pepper.
Dip the sweet potato pieces generously into the mixture.
Bake in over at 400 for 20-40 minutes. It will depend on your oven. Mine cooks fast, but my old one was sllllllooooowwww. Check after 20 minutes to see if they are browning.

   

RECIPE OF THE WEEK FOR KIDS:

Waffles!
Do you have a waffle maker? You can get one at Target for $20. :)
Mix 2 eggs, 1 TBSP of Coconut Flour.
Then the options are endless:
chocolate chips
blueberries
cinnamon and raisins
slivered almonds
etc.

   

SUPPLEMENT OF THE WEEK:

Fruits and veggies
What if I told you - you could get over 15 fruits and veggies in your diet for under 10 calories a day and for about $1.50 a day? You can!
Juice Plus
I putting in another plug for Juice Plus because I truly believe in this product.
It always surprises me that this isn't the most popular supplement on the market!
It's made with REAL FOOD, it's inexpensive, low in calories, kids take it FREE, it's gluten, soy, dairy and corn free and Kosher.

Here's a list of what it can do for you:

 ~ be bio-available (it gets into our blood)
 ~ significantly increase antioxidants in your body
 ~ significantly reduce free radicals (oxidative stress)
 ~ protect and help repair DNA
 ~ enhance the immune system
 ~ improve circulation
 ~ improve heart health
 ~ improve skin health
 ~ improve gum health
 ~ reduce symptoms of the common cold
 ~ reduce systemic inflammation
 ~ improve athletic recovery and performance
