Sweet Kale Smoothie and CocoaVia Giveaway

Monday, February 3, 2014 9 Comments

Sweet Kale Smoothie | @mamamissblog #cocoavia #smoothielove #kale

Part of the new me that I strive to be this year is eating healthier.  Last year I got a Ninja blender & although I was gung-ho at first, I slowly fizzled with ideas.  It wasn’t until recently that I’ve really been utilizing it every day (haha some days even more than that) and getting all creative with fruit & veggie combinations.  Today I’m sharing my newest creation, my Sweet Kale Smoothie (& a fab giveaway at the bottom of the post too)!

It’s so easy to fall in a rut of tiredness & bad eating.  I’m VERY guilty of it, because its easy!  Well, anything worth having is worth working for – right?!

So, let’s make a pact – you & me – let’s make 2014 a healthy new you – Mentally & Physically!

Mentally – more “you” time.  I am the WORST when it comes to taking time for myself, theeeee worst!  And although I feel extremely guilty (ugh mama guilt) I’ve started going off on the weekend mornings for some mama time.  I’ve been getting my lazy weekend butt up really early and going to the gym, and then to the library or Panera (Starbucks is too noisy even with headphones on!) to work.  Real work; writing, editing photos – I’m paranoid about cranking up the internet on public Wi-Fi so I’m not distracted by social media (that’s a good thing!).

Physically – the gym, walking, running – anything to get those endorphins going.  In my twenties I was the biggest exercise freak – ran 5Ks almost every weekend, 10Ks sometimes & the occasional one-time 10-miler (even though the guy who was running and juggling (umm no joke) passed me at mile 9, I still survived lol).  I loved it, I ate really well, I worked out EVERY DAY.  I miss her.  Although I hate to admit it- exercise really does give you more energy – you feel sooo sooo good afterwards – so if you’re too tired to workout – FORCE yourself to do it – you’ll feel energized & amazing afterwards – I promise!

And to nourish both Mental & Physical – it’s all about eating right & giving your body the nutrition and vitamins it needs to succeed!  Feed that brain with power food & those muscles with energy.

So, you with me?!  YAY!  Let’s do this – I got ya back – we can do this together!!

So, full circle here –  enter in some smoothie love (along with my CocoaVia® supplements) – my healthy obsession to make the “new me” happen full force!

A quick & easy lunch, or breakfast (I usually do one for lunch everyday) – pop it into the blender with my CocoaVia® Supplement & go!

So, what’s CocoaVia®?!

Sweet Kale Smoothie | @mamamissblog #cocoavia #smoothielove #kale

From CocoaVia®…

CocoaVia® daily cocoa extract supplement helps support healthy circulation, which contributes to healthy aging by promoting cardiovascular health.  CocoaVia® supplement is made with our patented Cocoapro™ cocoa extract, guaranteeing the highest concentration of cocoa flavanols in a dietary supplement. CocoaVia® supplement is available in two convenient forms: vegetarian capsules and single serving powdered stick packs.

In simplified mama terms – it gives me my daily dose of heart-healthy cocoa flavanols in an super easy way everyday (ummm plus it’s made from cocoa – hello!) – I just add it to my shake or coffee & go!!  So easy-peasy my friends!

Here’s more on how it works, some more ideas on how to use it, and where you can get it.  Love CocoaVia®!

And here’s my yummy & refreshing Sweet Kale Smoothie recipe (and don’t forget about the fab giveaway too – just scroll down)…

    Can you leave out the Cocovia and if so – will it still taste good?

    Thanks for sharing your smoothie recipe! I love green smoothies and one of my favorites is a kale peach combo – it just stinks because peaches are hard to come by in the midwest this time of year! Happy Wednesday!

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
