New Inspiration!

Alright, so one of my friends JUST started a new blog and she has been such a fitness and health inspiration to me! She introduced me to KALE SMOOTHIES and now I'm basically an addict. She talked to me about all the benefits and how within a month she could see the difference in not only her weight but hair and skin and overall health! So I've started AND I'M IN LOVE. I have one every morning ...and maybe for dinner too (SHHH) but it's so good ( I know it doesn't SOUND too appetizing...but it is. I promise).  Here's her blog and her "Berry Green Smoothie" recipe!  I took the picture and recipe straight from her blog but go check it out yourself! She has great posts!!! I also looked up some others --ENJOY!
