My Favorite Green Smoothie + A GIVEAWAY!

Being a food blogger and writing a cookbook about ice cream sandwiches inherently means sampling quite a few foods that aren’t exactly healthy. That’s why I try to focus on balance. I like to indulge in things that I think are worth it (a homemade ice cream sandwich, a piece of perfectly fried chicken, etc.) rather than impulse items (a stale and bland cookie from the break room at work, a can of soda, etc). Additionally, I try to get in as many fruits and vegetables as possible. Drinking one of these smoothies everyday really helps you to get in as many whole foods as possible – just look at the ingredient list! Not to mention green smoothies like this energize you and are perfect body fuel for after a workout.
Speaking of workouts… I have a fun and super cute giveaway for you guys today! Albion Fit was nice enough to offer one lucky reader a $100 gift card to spend at their store! They sell both women’s fitness and swimwear apparel. In case you don’t win – here’s an exclusive promotional code to save $15 on any purchase of $50 or more; the code to use at checkout is handletheheat15 (expires 5/25/2013). They sent me two items that I have been loving:

Optimum Capri Pants in Graphite
Aren’t these super cute? I love how the waist band folds over for a contrast in color. Plus they are ultra comfortable and easy to move in.
