Hey Folks! Last week I purchased a Whole Foods Groupon. Pay $5 and get a $10 Digital Whole Foods gift card. I love Whole Foods, so I hopped on it thinking "oh great I can get 2 avocados and a grape for $10!" Ha!
I put myself on a challenge. I will only spend the amount of the Groupon. I want to see how much I can buy for $10 at Whole Foods. Take a look at what I purchased. My total amount was $10.51.
1. 4 Bananas - more than 4 and they will rot in my house. I'm the only one who eats them.
2. Pretzels - I discovered these organic pretzels while I was on the Daniel Fast. They don't contain yeast.
3. Quinoa - love this with black beans
4. 1 bunch of kale - Lacinato kale a.k.a. Dinosaur kale. I am on a serious kale kick. Check out the salad I make with it below.
5. 1 large lemon - Lemons are a staple for me. I use it to make my dressing, add to my water, etc.
6. Celestial Herbal Tea - I rather have tea than coffee. My favorite brand is Tazo. However, buying Tazo would have put me over my budget.
Grand total: $10.51. What would you get at Whole Foods for $10?
This is the kale salad I make using dinosaur kale. It's so yummy! My sister in law turned me onto kale salad several months ago. Never thought I would eat raw kale! It's super easy to make. Combine extra virgin olive oil, juice from 1 lemon, red pepper flakes, and 1 clove of garlic minced. Pour over kale and toss. Top with Parmesan cheese. Let the kale rest so the dressing has a chance to marinate. I make my salad the night before, refrigerate it, and have it for lunch the next day. It's so good! Enjoy!

Breakfast...
Day 2 of the 31 day photograph challenge. The theme is breakfast. I usually have a really good healthy breakfast. As the day goes on, healthy eating tends to go downhill. Working on it. Today's breakfast was Multi grain English muffins with Smart Balance peanut butter and Greek yogurt. Taken with Instagram.

Fit For Life...
A few of my fab girlfriends are dedicated to get "Fit for Life." We are spread out from NYC, Philly, Maryland, and NC. We check in via email weekly to share our progress and slip-ups. It's a slow process, but slow and steady wins the race.
I like to snack, so I'm looking for healthy snack choices. I learned about Dry Roasted Edamame from fellow blogger Shevon Gant. I found them ON SALE at the Fresh Market. They are so tasty. Heart healthy, high fiber, low sodium, and a kick of wasabi to spice things up.

Trail Mix...
My mom makes the best trail mix! Loaded with lots of heart healthy nuts such as walnuts, almonds, and pecans (all unsalted). She throws in blueberries and a few M&Ms to make it sweet. Whenever we go on vacation together or she comes for a visit, she makes me a bag. Yummy!

She puts my name on the bag. =)

It's awesome!
