My Favorite Thing Friday

Who doesn't love Fridays!  Today seems like the perfect day to kick off a new weekly feature called, "My Favorite Thing Friday".  As the name unveils, every Friday from here on out I will feature something that I just can't live without!  From kitchen appliances, to supplements, to my favorite foods, we'll uncover all my best discoveries.

Today's favorite is so simple but it is truly my BFF.  It's none other than my favorite water bottle.  I have learned over the years that not all water bottles are created equal.  I have tried a variety of the seemingly best water bottles - from Siggs to the glass favorites - and while I oddly felt "good" about spending $20+ on a water bottle, I hated drinking out of them.  Yes, my water bottle has to be safe - BPA Free - but I also need to be able to down the water easily. 

Every morning, I jump start my body with drinking a liter of water and this carries on throughout the day 4 to 5 more times. My water bottle never leaves my side.  So while my cupboard is filled with all of the market's best, my go-to bottle is the Nalgene OTG (on-the-go) BPA Free bottle found at any major retailer. As the website describes, the Nalgene OTG bottle offers a easy one handed operation so you can pop the top and take a drink without letting go of your momentum...or anything else for that matter.
They normally run around $10, but I was able to stock up recently for half-off.  A steal! 



                                  


What's your favorite water bottle?

Ahhmazingly Clean Pick-Me-Up

One of the things I love about clean eating is experimenting in the kitchen! My new favorite - can't live without - kitchen appliance is non-other than the Magic Bullet.  Since I purchased it a couple months ago, I do not go a day without blending a delicious, clean mid-day meal.  All of the containers make it so easy to prepare and pack to enjoy later in the day (ideal for a girl on the go)!

My latest blend is too good not to share.  The best part is that you can't mess it up! 

Here's the ingrediants:
  • Pure Coconut Water
  • Handful of Kale (as much as I can fit!)
  • Cup of Blueberries
  • Serving of Protein Power (get the good stuff my friends - read the labels)
  • 1 tbsp of Chia Seeds  (amazing little guys - filled with an energizing source of essential fats, protein, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, & fiber - no joke!)
  • 3-4 cubes of ice
Blend away...and enjoy!!  It's so tasty...can't wait for you to try it!

***I have noticed that including kale does take it a little longer to blend...but still less than a minute!
