Day 15 – September Smoothie Challenge – Eat More Kale not Frozen Yogurt
I think this new Healthy Choice frozen yogurt commercial featuring a character who was on a “Kale cleanse” is comical at the least and misleading to consumers about the value of Kale.

Day 9 – September Smoothie Challenge – Protein Options

Day 7 – BWLW September Smoothie Challenge – 7 Benefits of Green Smoothies
Broccoli, spinach, kale, celery, arugula, or wheatgrass in your smoothie? A lot of people assume that the taste will be terrible when they see a green smoothie for the first time. When you give it a try, you find that the fruit and other flavors overwhelm the greens most of the time. Green smoothies are […]
