    Smoothie Bowls made easy with Blendtec

    I received this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. I’m sharing one of my (and the kids) favorite foods to prepare: smoothie bowls. These have always been something that we all get involved with making. Not only are they delicious and healthy but the kids love making their own designs with the toppings. This year, we are putting our health first. Part of staying healthy is by eating organic, fresh foods with as little ingredients as possible. Smoothies are something that are made daily in our home.

    Why I decided to change my Lifestyle

    Something that I feel compelled to talk about this week is my lifestyle and how it came to be.  I’ve talked about this in the past but it was when my blog was new and I had a smaller following. I get asked health questions numerous times a day and I want to share all of my knowledge with y’all! I’ve also seen a backlash after my transition and it’s something that I want to address.
