Healthy Chicks

Indulge a little much during yesterday’s Superbowl partying? First of all know that It’s OK because Healthy Chicks Eat Burgers Too (and chicken wings, pizza, nachos, you name it.)

At our house there was a lot of chicken wings, beef stew, greasy Chinese, chips, beer and wine to name a few. Fortunately, I made a healthy Kale & Avocado salad to add a little green balance, but only a few people ate it (ha!) I guess the other stuff looked a little more appealing on Game Day…

If you’re feeling a little bloated from all that excess sodium and greasy food, you can start fresh today because “Tomorrow is a New Day” after all.  One of my favorite ways to refresh is by chugging a ton of water, and my favorite way: green smoothies! I made this for my mom and I this morning (I took a trip to visit the ‘rents for a few days), and she absolutely loved it! I’d have to agree.
