New Year’s Shake Up
10 delicious shake and smoothie recipes
that will kick start your New Year.
The New Year is upon us…and that means it’s time to get back on track and
continue reaching our goals. The holidays have just passed, and you’re tired of
feeling like crap from all the holiday foods.
You are ready to take your body to the next level…2014 is YOUR year!
I know…I know…that means skipping out on your favorite foods and only eating
chicken and broccoli, right?
Or does it…
There’s no way we would tell you to only eat chicken and broccoli. That’s way too
boring. Besides, after about a week of that you would be ready to throw in the
towel. Hopefully you know by now that food doesn’t have to be boring, just look
at our 120 Gluten Free Recipes for example.
There are plenty of healthy recipes that taste great and don’t cost an arm and leg.
In fact, shakes are a perfect recipe to fit under this description.
Brittney & I love shakes. Shakes are convenient, versatile, cost effective, and most
importantly delicious!
We know that the New Year is a busy time for most people. Many people give up
on their New Year’s Resolutions because they don’t have time or fail to plan out
their meals in advance.
One the best ways to solve this problem is by making shakes.
We thought that shakes would be perfect for this time of year. Whether you drink
one for breakfast, lunch, snack or dessert, these nutritious packed recipes will
leave you satisfied for hours.
Here are 10 of our favorite shake recipes for you to dominate 2014.
*Many of these recipes call for coconut milk. Substitute with almond milk or your
preferred liquid if you don’t enjoy coconut flavor.
