It's "Tasty Tuesday", where every week we bring you new, fresh, local, healthy recipes and food tips. Find out what is in season, and what will keep you fuelled during and after your work outs!
That was a nice little weekend of sunshine, but it looks like we're back to grey, so I decided to make a nice bright smoothie with some Blue Majik and dream of blue skies again!
If you're unfamiliar, Blue Majik is an extract of a blue-green algae Arthrospira platensis, and is full of nutrients - here's some more info on it! You can buy it online or in specialty stores like Body Energy Club.
Make Your Meal Even Healthier Tip:
Smoothie bowls are great because you can get a hit of fruit in the smoothie blend itself and in the toppings. Feel free to experiment with what you put in it based on what's in season, what you have frozen, and what your body needs!
