Staying the course with nutrition is often the hardest part of a healthy lifestyle change. And with nearly 80% of fat loss success being tied into proper nutrition, it’s quite possibly the most important part of the equation. One thing that makes it incredibly difficult is a lack of knowledge when it comes to recipes and the thought that it just isn’t going to taste very good. That’s why we like to provide healthy, balanced recipes once a month to help you get new food into your rotation. Healthy can be delicious and these recipes will prove it!
Here is August’s Food for Thought Recipe
We are smack dab in the middle of the one of the hottest months of the year and the only thing that sounds remotely appealing better be ice cold. Frozen fruit can not only appeal to your need for something cold, but the sweetness is a nice treat as well. Enjoy!
