1 Frozen Banana
1 Packed Cup of Baby Spinach
2/3 Cup of fresh Mango (Diced)
2 Tbsp Raw Hemp Seeds (Shelled)
1 3/4 Cups of Unsweetened Almond Milk

Directions: Blend all ingredients in the blender until smooth. Add Sweetener to taste.

30 Day Abs Challenge



As I was surfing through the Internet looking for some fitness ideas, I came across an article called the 30 Day Abs Challenge. As the weather gets warmer, the less clothes some of us tend to wear and a lot of us want to look good as we roll through Spring and eventually get to summer. Here is a challenge that I think we all should try to get fit. Please consult a doctor first before trying any of these moves. While you are doing the challenge, make sure you are eating clean and doing the following:

  • Drink 2.5 Liters of water a day
  • Give up ALL sodas, fast food and junk food (Yes, even diet soda)
  • Eat clean by eating whole foods instead of processed foods
  • Toss the refined sugar or try to avoid any added sugar or sweeteners for the next 30 days
  • Eat Smaller Portions (I prefer to eat from saucer plates)
Here is a routine that I found from http://skinnyms.com/fabulous-abs-in-30-days-challenge/ . You can work on your abs any way you want to, but for those who do not know what to do, here are some ideas:

Perform 4 circuits of the following routine; rest 15 seconds between exercises; rest 15 seconds after each circuit is completed. If you don't know what any of these routines are, please visit YouTube or the link above for instructions.

Leg Lifts – 20 seconds
Rest – 15 seconds
Scissors Kicks – 20 seconds
Rest – 15 seconds
Plank – 20 seconds
Rest – 15 seconds
Flutter Kicks – 20 seconds
Rest – 15 seconds
Reverse Crunches – 20 seconds
Rest – 15 seconds
Mason Twist – 20 seconds
Rest – 15 seconds

If you have any questions in regards to this challenge, please feel free to leave your question or comment in the comment section below. I will be posting before and after pictures ;-). Good luck!!
