7 Day Healthy Habits Challenge : Day 1

We’re so excited to have you with us! Developing healthy habits and making changes to your lifestyle can seem overwhelming but don't worry we're here to help!

Becoming the best and healthiest version of yourself is not as difficult as it may seem. It doesn’t mean strict juices or restricted diet plans, but it is more focused on making smart decisions for your body and mind.

One of the easiest ways to do this is by simply reducing the amount of processed sugar you eat and replacing it with whole, nutrient-dense foods, like our Green Detox Smoothie.

 

Smoothie of the Day: Green Detox Smoothie

• 1 SmoothieBox Green Smoothie Mix
• 1 cup coconut water 
• 1 cup kale
• ½ cup frozen mango
• ½ frozen banana
• ⅓ cup greek yogurt, unsweetened
• ¼ lemon, peeled

 

Workout of the Day: Simple stretches & 15-30 minute walk 

Did you know walking for as little as 30 minutes a day can burn anywhere from 150 to 200 calories?

We're kicking off Day One of our 7-Day Healthy Habits Challenge with a simple 15 - 30 minute walk.

But before you head out the door, fitness instructor Carrie Groff is going to walk you through some basic stretches you can incorporate into your routine.
