On Eating Healthy (Plus, A Raw Vegan Protein Smoothie Recipe)
/
I’m continuously amazed at what a difference it makes when I
eat a balanced diet and stay
consistent with my yoga practice.
One of my friends who is a personal trainer suggests taking
an “80/20” approach – when you’re looking to get in shape, focus 80% of your
efforts on your diet, and 20% on your physical activity.
It’s important to make gradual changes and set attainable
goals when you change how you eat. In order to sustain the changes, take small
steps.
Incorporate one or two new healthy habits into your daily
routine. Maybe instead of drinking soda, drink water with your meals. Or cut
down your alcoholic beverage intake by one less drink per night.
I also love adding greens to each meal, and drinking more
healthy smoothies for breakfast and lunch.
My favorite recipe is super simple, if you’d like to try it!
Berry Smoothie
1/2 cup frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, and
blueberries)
