Fitness Week: Smoothie Chic with Be Well by Kelly

Today we are so excited and fortunate to feature wellness expert Kelly LeVeque of Be Well by Kelly. She has even created a seasonal smoothie just for our MCbJ readers! We love how she loves the avocado! For those of you that have never tried avocado in a smoothie, here is your chance! For more information on Be Well by Kelly, check out her fabulous site and the “Be Baby” wellness program. Now I am off to my blender to mix up this beauty.  Talk about smoothie chic! xx

The American Journal of Nutrition recently reported that eating breakfast was associated with increased feelings of fullness, a reduced desire to eat, and lower levels of ghrelin (a hunger-stimulating hormone). At BeWELL our clients start each day with a protein rich #BeWELLsmoothie; with an adequate amount of protein, fat, fiber and greens our clients slim down naturally while filling up on seasonal superfoods.

Starting in April the Yellow Champagne Mango comes into season, this buttery sweet fruit is full of vitamin C and fiber. The sweet notes allow you to bulk up your #BeWELLsmoothie with antioxidant rich greens and still taste the tropics. The avocado,rich in vitamin K, vitamin B9, vitamin B6, vitamin B5 vitamin C, and vitamin E, is not only a vitamin powerhouse but also contains 11 grams of fiber, which is close to half of the RDI.

Give our seasonal Avo-Mango #BeWELLsmoothie a try or create your own with our#BeWELL smoothie formula: (1 serving protein, 1 serving fiber, ½ cup fruit, 2 tbsp fat,handful of greens)
