Healthy Drink Options + Yummy Green Smoothie Recipe!

Hi guys! Happy Friday and Welcome Back. Today I want to share with you all TWO of my favorite healthy drinks and my all time favorite green smoothie recipe! By the way, I am in no way a dietitian or nutrition expert. These are just things that have helped me and I'd love to share them with you guys! Enjoy :)

1. Belly slimming DETOX WATER
Everybody is talking about it! Everyone is making it. Let's find out why.
First off, if you aren't necessarily fond of the taste of water this could be a great option for you. All you have to do is slice your favorite fruits and veggies, place them in your water, and let the mixture sit for a few hours. The water flushes your system of any harmful toxins and the fruits and veggies aid in this process!
THE NATURALLYKBIGGIE WAY :
My go to detox water consists of-
-1/2 sliced lemon
-1 sliced orange
-1/2 sliced pear or apple

2. TEA

Literally, my number one tip for feeling great is having a glass of green or ginger tea EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Green tea is full of amazing antioxidants! It is known to help you loose weight by boosting your metabolism. Ginger tea is my BEST FRIEND. I was first introduced to ginger tea in high school when I had horrible stomach pains. Let me tell you, nothing calms cramps, stomach aches, or abdominal discomfort like ginger tea does. I promise it won't let you down.

THE NATURALLYKBIGGIE WAY:

I try to drink my tea early in the day. I mix green and ginger tea together for an amazing concoction. To sweeten, I add honey and lemon! 

3. GREEN SMOOTHIES

So this is rather new to my nutrition plan because I just got my first blender! Green smoothies are an easy and delicious way to incorporate fruits and green, leafy vegetables into your diet. They are great in the morning before a workout or right after to refuel your body!

THE NATURALLYKBIGGIE WAY:

I like to drink a green smoothie at least 3 times a week, right after my workout. Here is a recipe that I've recently been loving;

-tons and tons of organic spincach

-1/2 chopped orange

-1 whole banana (great to sweeten and cut the taste of the spinach)

-a handful of purple grapes

-any type of pressed mango juice (Naked, Bolthouse, etc.)

-about 4 ice cubes

And here is the finished product. WALA MAGIC :)
