Delicious & Nutritious!

Tom jotted down these healthy things to emphasize in our diets this year:

Fruits/Vegetables:

• kale
• beet greens
• leafy greens
• watercress
• wild blueberries (frozen from CostCo)
• broccoli
• avocados

Herbs/Spices/Roots:

• garlic
• ginger root
• cinnamon

Protein sources:

• nuts (especially walnuts)
• legumes
• lean meat (especially fish and poultry)
• yogurt (with active cultures)

Miscellaneous:

• oatmeal (Karin prefers steel cut – more texture)
• extra virgin olive oil

Some of these he incorporates into a smoothie which is not only healthy, but delicious! This video captures the process Tom uses to create his smoothies:
