4 Dessert Inspired Smoothie Recipes to Kickstart 2021!
A new year has begun, and many of us are using this time to end bad habits and begin a healthier lifestyle. Over this past year, I started a “fitness journey” of my own that spiraled into a “lifestyle journey.” While I was able to eliminate many unhealthy habits from my life, I was (and still am) unable to get rid of my sweet tooth. Which by the way, is totally fine. Living a healthy lifestyle is all about balance, and listening to your cravings, so don’t stress if you have a cookie (or three!). However, I also found that my body feels it’s best when I eat nutritious food that makes me feel good, which led me to an incredible discovery: The Dessert Smoothie. Over the past few months, I can confidently say I have found a way to incorporate some of my favorite healthy foods while satisfying my sweet tooth. In today’s post, I will be sharing some of my favorite dessert-inspired smoothies that are both nutritious and delicious. Let’s get to blending, shall we…
