Crazy for Smoothies

We have been loving smoothies lately. I find that in the winter months, it’s a great way to get a wide variety of fruits and veggies by using frozen ones. Some of our favorite fruits like strawberries, peaches and pineapple aren’t in season so instead of paying more for unripe versions we just buy the frozen kind instead.

I also find I can add a few more ingredients into smoothies that my kids normally are huge fans of…spinach and avocado come to mind.

Some of our most recent favorites include –

• Almond Butter and Blueberry Brain Boosting Smoothie
• Winter Citrus Cold Busting Smoothie
• My Family’s Favorite Immune Boosting Smoothie

Foods and Brain Health

I feel like 2021 was the year of Gut Health and that 2022 should be focused on brain health! Dementia cases are increasing and experts estimate that there are currently 6 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease.

We previously shared more detail here about the Connection Between the Mediterranean Diet and Alzheimer’s Disease.

While there aren’t any singular foods that can miraculously cure dementia, research believes there are certain foods that may help improve brain function, when eating in combination with a healthy, balanced diet.

These foods include – 

• Dark Green Leafy Vegetables 
• Fatty Fish/Omega 3 Fatty Acids
• Berries
• Tea and Coffee
• Walnuts

Improving Brain Function with Memore

We’ve been partnering with Memore for 4 months now and are devoted fans. Memore is a nutritional functional beverage (think daily greens powder) that uses real food ingredients to create products that support brain health while filling in nutritional gaps in your everyday diet.

How are they different from other products on the market? Simple – they use real ingredients. Things like –

• sweet potatoes
• spinach
• flaxseed
• beets
• blueberry
• turmeric
• ginger
• lemon

They also focus on making products that focus on disease prevention rather than treatment. Plus they are safe for the whole family to use. A win, win if you’ve ever tried to get kids to eat spinach, beets or flaxseed.

Plus just one serving of Memore is an entire serving of dark green leafy veggies! It’s easy and convenient.
