Let’s Lose Weight Together #StartYourSmoothie Kura Giveaway

I so desperately want to lose weight. All I’m doing is putting weight on and I think it’s my anti-depressant because even when I was exercising twice a day I was still putting weight on. The only difference is now that I’m so large I can see weight in my face and smile and I’m starting to get a little depressed. I’m going to lose weight and it’s starting with protein shakes and smoothies.

KURA SPRING GIVEAWAY

 

 

Smoothies are a wonderful way for kids (even picky eaters!) and parents to ensure they are eating enough fruits and veggies. However, no longer do parents have to choose between a non-nutritious, sugary smoothie (a milkshake in disguise!) or a protein supplement filled with hard- to-pronounce ingredients and a distinct vitamin and chalky taste disliked by kids. My kids love a good none chalky smoothie and as a mom I love drinking them and giving them something healthy as a snack. KURA_14005_Group

Now that the weather is warming up, I’m thinking about all the delicious smoothies I can make. These are a perfect drink for our current eating plan, since you can utilize nonfat milk with a fruit for a well-rounded snack that counts as both a SmartCarb and PoweFuel. I wanted to try something that would be a little creative, but not too involved to make. Here’s what I came up with!
