Many recite and later on believe the famous quote, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” I on the other hand am a strong believer that nothing tastes as good as confidence feels. Nothing makes me feel more confident then living a healthy and active life. Living a healthy life involves more than going to the gym and exercising. A healthy life entails eating what’s best for their body. When many of us think of eating healthy we think of drab salads and tasteless trail mix. A fun and simple way to shake up your healthy living is shakes. Shakes, other times known as smoothies, are delicious and ultimately painless ways to consume your daily fruits and veggies.
