I am delighted to share this blog post with you today. We all know that exercise and eating healthy is a great way to stay fit and trim. If your body does not allow you to exercise, changing your diet and eating healthy foods is a great way to stay in shape. One of my favorite things to make in my quest for staying healthy are healthy smoothies with fruit and other healthy ingredients. I use my Nutribullet to make wonderful fresh smoothies daily. You can use all sorts of ingredients, but I try and stay consistent with adding healthy ingredients. Take a look at a few super easy smoothie recipes that you can make in minutes. The folks at Chobani have done a fabulous job providing a list of ingredients and portions. I love the Chobani Greek yogurt and find it to have a great taste and flavor. Personally, I do not add any sweeteners to my smoothies because I think that the fruit and other ingredients provide enough sweetness for me. Here are the recipes:

Recently the social media team at Chobani created a wonderful graphic on easy ways people can burn 100 calories. Since I enjoy using the Chobani Greek yogurt personally, I thought that it would be fun to write a blog post and share with my readers. As a lifestyle blogger, I enjoy writing and sharing helpful information on Viewpoints with my readers that can fosters healthy living.
Sometimes you need inspiration and motivation to make healthy lifestyle choices like eating right and exercise. If you are looking for that little spark, check out the robust website simply 100 website. It is jam packed with great recipes and nutrition information.
If you are looking for super easy exercises, take a look at the following, fun and enjoyable exercises everyone can enjoy, if their body allows:
- 9 minutes of Jogging or 15 minutes of brisk walking
- 10 minutes of skiing or 15 minutes of rollerblading (we all do not live in places where we can ski)
- 15 minutes of lifting weights – You do not need to lift a lot to make this work. Start with a small number and move up.
- 18 minutes of skating (If you have access to an ice skating rink, go for it, if not, lace up a pair of roller skates and go to town for 18 – 20 minutes.
- 20 minutes of dancing (Put on your favorite music and dance around the house. Try a Zumba tape to make it a little more interactive and fun)
- 20 minutes of yoga or pilates (This does the body and mind good).
Enjoy having fun and eating healthy. Integrate exercise into your lifestyle, check with your doctor if you have not exercised in awhile and most importantly do everything in moderation.
