Feels like Spring!

March 2, 2010


What an amazing run today. Here is a link to a great 9km loop from the Movement to Health studio, Kirkwood at Richmond Rd in Westboro ( make sure to refresh the webpage link when it pops up).
The sun was shining, the birds were singing and I think I even got a tan. :)

Here is the smoothie I had when I got back

Springtime Smoothie (measurements are approximate) 
1/2 cup frozen  blueberries
1/2 cup frozen mango
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh pea sprouts (from Bryson Farms)
1 big scoop Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer
Blend until smooth and enjoy!

    Hi Donna, I was looking for some great breakfast ideas and I saw this smoothie. I don’t know where I would purchase Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer and fresh pea sprouts. Could you help? Also, do you have a great receipe for cereal bars for breakfast or after workouts?
    Thanks,

    Hi Nancy: you can purchase the Veag Whole Food Optimizer at health food stores like Natural Food Pantry or at Superstore locations. I get green sprouts like pea, buckwheat and sunflower at Herb and Spice on Wellington St or Rainbow Foods on Richmond Rd near Carling Ave. You may also be able to get them now at Farmer’s Markets
