Today’s Healthy Dose – Inspiration

We all have stuff we SHOULD do (like exercise). But inspiration often comes from doing the things we want to do (like baking avocado brownies), then tacking that should do stuff onto the end. You know, while you’re in the “doing”  zone…

(Like getting those brownies into the oven, then walking for 20 minutes while you wait for them to bake. Brownies and exercise? It’s win-win!)

Today’s Healthy Dose – A Sweet Deal

Whether it’s white sugar, artificial sweeteners or raw natural sweeteners like honey and coconut  sugar – in excess, they can all be harmful to your health. But in today’s world they’re nearly impossible to ditch altogether. Make a deal with yourself to indulge knowingly, modestly, and with the pure satisfaction of savoring every minute.

Just like life…it’s all about balance 🙂

Today’s Healthy Dose – One Pat of Butter

A square of butter, 1″ high and 1/3″ thick, contains only 36 calories. Butter from pasture raised cows is high in essential fatty acids, rich in fat soluble vitamins, and contains the ever-elusive Vitamin K2 which has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease.
