Healthfood Junkie



The economy is bad; the funds are low… and it so easy to grab something quick, fast and cheap to eat. I know, because I do it often. But, its time to get it together. We most often relate eating unhealthy with weight, either loosing or gaining, BUT, in actuality eating unhealthy has a domino effect
on the rest of your body including your hair, nails, and skin. The Everyday girl loves nice hair, healthy nails, and clear skin, so let’s find some substitutes for out unhealthy eating habits.

For those who have that milkshake addiction… please…step into the world of SMOOTHIES!! Less calories, less sugar, an all together better choice. You could run over to Tropical Smoothie
every time you need a smoothie fix OR you can concoct one right in your own kitchen. Here’s how..

Ingredients:
1 Banana
6 Strawberries
1 Kiwi
½ cup vanilla frozen yogurt
¾ cup pineapple and orange juice blend
(If you dislike any of the above fruit substitute it with a fruit of your choice)
Directions: Put all ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.
Now how easy is that!


Who doesn’t love a chocolate nut sundae!!
Chocolate syrup swirled through out vanilla ice cream. Piled high with nuts, and topped with whipped cream and cherries!!
OOOOk..so every girl should treat herself to one of these every now and again, BUT sometimes, try substituting that sundae with another frozen treat that you may find just as good. How about a little frozen yogurt?
I know of a yummy frozen yogurt spot on Broad St.
Very Berry! It also happens to have the cutest little set up I’ve ever seen on this campus…or any other. Check it out! Support local businesses! Pretty Please with a cherry on top.
Coffee every morning… looks great in the movies, and some of us actually pull it off in real life. How unhealthy is a daily dose of expresso? The world may never know. Coffee at its root probably isn’t really that bad, but by the time we finish filling it with sugar, adding a lil whip, cream and caramel here and there, it's nothing but a sugar attack waiting to happen. So.. to be on the safe side grab a glass of Simply Orange,

or some juice full of vitamin C..It’s great for you. Plus, grabbing Starbucks every morning can be hard on a everyday girl's purse.
I do understand, a girl needs that coffee every now and then, but guess what, that Caffe Mocha that you crave can be made can be made at home. Here’s how

Ingredients:
2 c. non-dairy creamer1 1/3 c. sugar1 1/2 c. dry milk1 c. instant coffee1/3 c. cocoa1 level tsp. cinnamon1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Directions:
Mix well. Add 2 or 3 teaspoons to 1 cup boiling water










It’s not that hard ladies. Healthy body = Healthy minds so in the words of Diddy “LETS GO”!!
