Nutrition night


Thanks for all who came to our class on Nutrition last night. Erin did an excellent job teaching us about good health. We learned how to properly feed our families, infants, nutrition during pregnancy, proper steps for weight loss and how to eat healthy and follow the Canadian Food guide. It was really fun and a big thanks to Erin for her time. Erin gave us a recipe that is her families favorite and is very healthy and quick to make. I will post it and I have a favorite that I will post as well. If any of you have a healthy meal that you want to share you can contact me and I will post it on our site.

Spinach Smoothie ( Shrek drink)

Blender full of fresh spinach
16 ice cubes
3/4 cup of soy milk ( I use regular milk if I don't have soy)
1 frozen banana
1/4 can of frozen pineapple juice.

This is a bright green smoothie and if I tell me kids it is a Shrek drink they drink it no problem. They actually love them and have them all the time. They taste so good.
