Why I Am Doing a 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge

September 23, 2019 by Rebecca Rosati

I am starting a 30-Day Smoothie Challenge on Monday, Sept. 30 – I invite anyone to participate, I am looking for people to join me for support and motivation. This  is all about making green smoothies a part of your lifestyle. All you do is drink at least one green smoothie per day. Keep eating regular meals, this is an effort to increase your fruit and veggie intake, no special ingredients or supplements required.

What is the Green Smoothie Challenge:

I am doing the challenge through Simple Green Smoothies. You drink at least one green smoothie a day for the next 30 days…and you can do whatever it takes to make that happen for you. Simple Green Smoothie put together a whole guide of tips and tricks, provides the grocery list for each week, and gives you a recipe for each of the weekdays. This challenge allows you to “freestyle” on the weekends. I plan to pick two of my favorites smoothies for the week and make those for the weekend. Or maybe get creative and use leftover ingredients to come up with my own recipes. Each recipe makes 1 serving, so if you’re doing this challenge with someone else in your household then be sure to double the shopping list and recipes when blending!

Reasons For My 30 Day Smoothie Challenge:

  1. Adding more fruits and veggies into your lifestyle: This 30-Day Smoothie Challenge is all about making green smoothies a part of your lifestyle. Most importantly for me this is not a diet. I don’t believe in diets, they never work because it’s not sustainable. I want to include more types of fruits and veggies in my life and I want to encourage other people to do the same.
  2. Feel better by Eating Better: Some of the results you can expect during this challenge  – more energy, boost your immune system, clearer skin, better mood, lose some weight, and less time in the kitchen.
  3. Challenges Motivate Me: I am the type of person that when I put my mind to something or set a goal, I won’t give up and I make it happen. I am also very competitive by nature so when there is a challenge I am ALL in. It’s always better to do something in a team versus alone so I hope having a small group to motivate each other and keep us going will help. We can post pics, tips, and tricks on social media to send motivation each day. I am a bit nervous about the commitment of posting a new smoothie picture each day for a whole month, but I think this challenge will help spark more creativity.
  4. Instagram is many people’s favorite social media platform. Starting an Instagram challenge not only builds your presence, but gives people an incentive to interact more with your brand and create a stronger community. I want to build more trust and connect with my readers to build more of a camaraderie.

Holiday Cranberry Mimosa

December 19, 2017 by Rebecca Rosati

Holiday Cranberry Mimosa… I can’t think of a better way to wake up on Christmas morning. This Mimosa is mostly champagne with a generous splash of cranberry juice and garnished with fresh cranberries. The recipe is ridiculously easy, but it is so festive and beautiful and sure to get you in the Christmas Spirit!

Christmas Morning Cranberry Mimosa

Cranberry flavor is perfect for Christmas and pairs so well with Champagne!

While this recipe is incredibly easy, it’s cranberry flavor is perfect for the Holidays. I personally am not a huge cranberry fan, but it pairs so well with Champagne that I actually prefer it over Orange Juice. Plus, cranberries have many health benefits. While cranberries get less attention than other berries like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries… they are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. Studies have shown cranberries can help reduce risk of stress. The holidays are a stressful time, so relax with this Cranberry Mimosa and allow your stress to float away!

Allow yourself to Indulge, but don’t Over Indulge!

I know this is a health food blog, but I truly believe in everything in moderation and that is how I live my life. It’s the Holidays and a time of eating and drinking and being Merry, so allow yourself to enjoy it! The month of December is full of holiday parties and entertaining. I get it…travels, family, food, crazy schedules, missed workouts, and wine… lots of wine! For me, I stay kind to my body and I still schedule in time to workout and eat fruits and veggies because that is what makes me feel good.

I do my best to eat well throughout the week, whenever possible, knowing I will indulge in cheese, cookies and wine during the weekend. If I am attending a Christmas Party at night then I eat a better breakfast and lunch and drink A LOT of water throughout the day. Have healthy options readily available for the day after too. This will keep you on track yet allow you to still enjoy food! Also, eat in moderation, there is no need eat a whole plate of cookies, but one or two won’t hurt. You won’t feel well after over eating anyways! I will be enjoying this mimosa tonight while baking Holiday cookies with my mom and blasting Mariah Carey Christmas music because that is what the Holiday season is all about.

Cranberry Mimosa

Sugared Cranberries:

The cranberries are just for garnish so you don’t actually eat them… unless you want to, of course. For a sweeter drink and an even more festive looking drink use Sugared Cranberries… Add 1 cup of sugar and roughly 1/3 cup water to a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until the sugar completely dissolves, bring to a boil and cook for a few minutes. Set aside and allow to cool. Once the syrup is cool, pour the liquid over cranberries in a bowl. Roll the berries in extra sugar.
