I Have Necessary Koalafications...

Ever feel like you need 3 cups of coffee just to get through a simple day at work/school? I do!  Recently I decided I will try to drink less coffee and try to find energy through consuming healthier products like fruits and veggies. Here are a few energy drinks you can consume without feeling guilty:  The first one is called yellow energy: 1-2 oranges, 1 piece of ginger, handful of pineapples. Add a little bot of ice and low-fat yogurt. I add flavored low-fat yogurt. Koala's energy flow: Handful of watermelon, 1 1/2 cups of blueberries, 1 apple, 2-4 strawberries, a handful of blueberries half of a tangerine. Again ice and low-fat yogurt, I used peach low-fat yogurt. Green Madness: Take the energy-packing power of leafy greens, greek yogurt, apples and bananas, and combine it with any other fruits you like, and you've got a wake-up call in a glass. Spinach and kale are favorites for green smoothies because their mild flavor is masked or even complemented by the f...

Summer is creeping up so quick. I can't believe it is already almost april! It feels like New Years Eve was just last week!!!! I have been doing a lot of research of different work outs and "diets". By diet, I don't mean just a month of diet. What I mean is changing a lifestyle and nutritional plan.  I'm the worst eater. I hate most of the veggies. I can literally name you veggies I will eat in 20 seconds. My list is that short. However, I have been forcing myself to learn to like new things. In order to do that, I cook them. I start with frying. Unfortunately the vegetable looses all the nutrients by that stage and becomes irrelevant for the diet, but that is how I get used to the new taste. For example: the other day my roommate gets home and says "You must try this fried cauliflower!!!" I said EW, cauliflower? I hate cauliflower. She goes on and says she hates it too but her friend forced her one time to try fried version and she loved i...

Before you know it summer will be here! Start early this year and get in shape now! I love food, and I love to cook. And if you must know I don't really eat that healthy due to not liking a lot of veggies and fruits! However!!!! I have been working on making myself eat healthier and include fruits and veggies I never ate before. I usually just cook/blend them so I don't taste them as much and once I'm used to the taste a little, I try it raw. Anyway I just wanted to share my list of antioxidants: *Cranberries *Papaya seeds *GARLIC- I cook a lot of stuff with garlic *Lemon and/or  Lime juice *Raspberries *Blueberries *Beets Since I'm very picky those are my antioxidants, but there are plenty more that you may eat for the same effect, for example: Broccoli, Red Kidney Beans, Artichoke, Prunes,  Raisins, Spinach, Brussels Sprouts and many more. Also if your a lover of concentrated juice and you want to loose weight, avoid: Concentrated Orange ...
