IMG_7773Becoming a mom has made me get REAL efficient and hone in on whats important and whats not.  I’ve prioritized like no other. NOW, becoming a mom of two… whole other level.  Something that is really important to me that I’ll always prioritize is my health and well being.  Because If I don’t care of myself first, whose going to take care of my babies.

So this is why I’m getting majorly into smoothies because they’re quick and easy to make on the go, and quickly feeding myself, all while packing them FULL of all the nutrients this mama needs to get moving and going.   I’ve been really obsessing over Oatsome.  Oatsome was made by Better Body Foods that I talk about all day long.  They’re the best company.  I love love love their products, I use them to cook, bake with and all the above.  They have it all, and you know what you’re getting in their products.  No junk or bull shit.

And before we go on, you need to know that Walmart carries Oatsome.  EVERYONE has a walmart thats near, am I right??  Or simply get it online.   AND you need to know I’m giving away TWO of you a month supply of Oatsome on my Instagram right now.

THE FAB 4 SMOOTHIE… where do I even begin about this amazing smoothie.

WELL.. if you guys follow me on my IG stories and snapchat you know that I drink this baby every morning. 

Lets back it up here, I recently found Be Well By Kelly.  @bewellbykelly on instagram and saw her Fab 4 smoothie Idea and FELL IN LOVE with her & the smoothie.  She’s so informative and knowledgeable when it comes to health.  

Her fab 4 smoothie gave me loads and loads of ideas for smoothies.  I’ve been drinking and testing out tons of different recipes all Summer long, and I’ve got one I want to share with you now!  I love this one, and hope you do too.  

So why do I love it so much?  Well, it keeps me full and satisfied longer, also starts my day off on the right foot, so I’m always reaching for good things throughout the day.  It helps control your blood sugar levels so they don’t spike soon after eating, therefore making you feel like you want all the carbs.

What does Fab 4 Smoothie mean?  

“The #bewellsmoothie is a formula to help you develop a blood sugar balancing meal replacement shake in any flavor with enough protein, fat and fiber to keep you full. Many juice shops, grocery smoothie bars and smoothie recipes are loaded with sugar, specifically fructose sugar from excess fruit. Fructose sugar stores as fat 20-30% faster than glucose. The #bewellsmoothie limits fructose to 1/4 cup. 

#FAB4Smoothie : Protein (20g min) + Fiber (10g min) + 1 Tbsp. Fat + Handful Greens + 1/4 Cup Fruit + Superfoods + Liquid

There is the formula!  I’ve followed this every single morning the whole Summer, and I can honestly tell you it works!  I used to eat breakfast and feel STARVED after an hour, now I eat and feel satisfied for a good 3-4 hours before I eat again.  

I never crave anything sugary or carby (carby?) haha yep carby.  So if you’re looking to shed some LB’S and trying to keep satisfied, try it out!  I will keep sharing my smoothie ideas with you on my stories, so make sure to follow along.

Try it for yourself & let me know how you like it!
