1. Five Tips for Using Smoothies to Lose Weight (easily)!

This is easily the most well-received video I’ve ever uploaded.

2. Food and Drink Inspiration

Raw zucchini noodles (spiralized) with red cabbage, edamame, carrots, and green onions doused in our zesty Thai peanut sauce.

+ A simple lunch salad with arugula, cucumber, onion, mushrooms, beets, quinoa, and Beyond Meat chicken ready to be smothered by our simple restaurant-style balsamic vinagirette (and knocked over by a crawling baby).

+ And finally, a look at how I like my green juice lately: By the spoonful with berries and granola (or Clif bar chunks if we’re out of granola).

3. Popular on Our Instagram This Week

Here’s a post from Shalva that’s getting a lot of love.

“We cancelled our Costco membership last year because we were buying fresh produce and not finishing it in time. That made us feel SO guilty. So now we snipe off my Mom’s membership and only pick up shelf stable pantry items like raw almonds, green olives & quinoa. We also never leave there without a truckload of frozen fruit. If you’re lucky enough to find açaí, stock up! In other news: we need a bigger freezer”

4. Vitamix deals for those considering

5. Articles, links, and other goodness we’re appreciating

Traditional ice-breakers are the worst, right? Here’s one that actually sounds wonderful.

From Matt Haughey: “A coworker opened a group discussion by asking us “What’s your favorite smell?” and everyone shared sense memories that flooded us with good feelings and it was a great way for strangers to bond.”
