Whole Food Recipe from Heather:

I'm a gym rat- I need the gym in the morning or I can get a bit grouchy!  When I get back I need to fuel up for our long days here at NibMor.  Right now, this is my favorite breakfast combo- it's fast, easy and fuels me through the mornings.  Try it out!

HKT's Breakfast Green Smoothie (2 servings)

1 banana

1 cup almond milk or coconut water

3-4 kale leaves

juice of 1/2 a lemon

one green apple- cut out the core

1 tsp agave nectar

2 tbsp cacao powder

Blend and enjoy!  YUM!

HKT's Waflles

2 whole grain or gluten-free waffles(if going GF try Van's- they are V-good)

6 almonds, chopped

1/4 cup berries

1 tbsp yogurt (soy, greek, coconut- whatever you are into!)

maple syrup- just a drizzle

Toast the waffles in a toaster or toaster over.  Plate and top with almonds, berries, 'yogurt' and maple syrup.  Let happiness wash over you. 

Juice with JLove:

I am on a cleanse!  A new year cleanse is a great way to restart your system. I do them several times a year and find that they really help keep me on track.  Though I am doing a cleanse right now it doesn't mean that I don't take juice on other days outside of the cleanse.  Juicing can be incredibly helpful in reaching your health and wellness goals and I hope to share loads of information with all of you as the year goes on.  But for now, juice!  Today is day 9 of 15- wish me luck!

 ABC’s Juice
2 Asian Pears
2 Apples
2 Beets
1 cup Broccoli
2 Carrots
1 cup Cabbage (my fav is red)
6 handfuls (3 cups) of Chard

Lauren picked up a few facts this week:

At NibMor I am always learning new things!  Here is a new fact I learned this week from Heather: Did you know that Berries have the least amount of sugar out of all fruits?  Well, now I know!  Add your favorite berries to your oatmeal, smoothies, or even your salads for a healthy natural sweetener!  It will help with to satisfy your sweet tooth.  Have a great week Nibblers!

And finally, your jam list from Jenny S. :

Song Choices for the week:

1.       Beyonce- Run the World (Girls)

Female Empowerment (theme for the week)
This is what I listen to when I am looking for inspiration and empowerment. This soundtrack makes me proud to be a young independent female in what is considered a “Man’s World.” I also surround myself with positive role models and individuals I would like to be one day. Enjoy these tunes while you walk to the beat of your own drum. Alright- go out there and get em!
