Some weeks are better than others when it comes to finding new smoothie/food blogs and bloggers to share on the Tour. This was a really good week.
Nadia and her site nadialim.com are everything I look for. Her site is beautiful, her recipes are all about good, healthy, whole food, and she's doing something completely different than anyone else I've seen with her Healthy Food Channel on youtube.
And if you ever thought it would be cool to get smoothie recipes from an Ivy League PhD, then you're in the right place. Liz from floatingkitchen.net studied at both Dartmouth and Stanford and was a scientist before following her heart to start her food blog.
And last but not least we welcome back Dana from minimalistbaker.com who we first met back in week 3 with her Hide Your Kale Smoothie. Dana's blog is more than just smoothies, and the recipes are simple (no more than 10 ingredients, 1 bowl/pot, and 30 minutes) and almost always plant-based and gluten free.
Enjoy!

Make it Healthy
Here's the skinny on dates and nutrition (info per nutritiondata.self.com):
- They are mostly sugar and carbs, which makes them not great to eat lots of
- However, as sweeteners go, dates are really nutritious
- 100g of dates contains 27% of your daily dietary fiber, 20% of your potassium, 12% of your vitamin B6, and a decent amount of other vitamins and minerals
Make it Matter
Eating healthy can only matter if we do it consistently over time. My goal is to combine healthy smoothies with the power of habit to help you be healthier for as long as you want to be.
Here's how I see it: We only do things when we remember to do them and when our motivation to do them exceeds the effort required. Guided Smoothie Tour installments support your healthy smoothie habit by reminding you to smoothie (if you're signed up to get the emails), and by making it both easier and more fun to do. Here's how:
Recipes you know by heart are easy to shop for and make, requiring less effort, and therefore less motivation....until you get bored, that is. Then you need something new to pique your interest and give your motivation a boost.
Find a few favorites along the tour that are worthy of your regular rotation. Then come back for fun, new recipes when you want to mix things up (pun intended).
Have an awesome day!
