Eat with Purpose! Drink SuperFruits

The struggle to be fit is something that everyone can relate to- the SocialWife to the Single Working Mom, to the Recent College Grad. Even if we have the means to hire a personal trainer, it takes motivation, dedication, consistency, and fit daily decisions to be healthy- long term. It takes a mindset. And that mindset is more than merely working out for an hour a day; it's often the little things that derail a fit life.

When it comes to food, there are lots of stupid ways to get skinny. If you want to be skinny, and more than that- healthy, long-term, forget about quick fixes (that quickly fail when you go back to your real life way of eating), be smart about it. Be Smart & Skinny! One of the best ways to be smart & skinny is by multi-tasking your meals.

What is Multitasking your Meals?

Food is not just for the purpose of filling and fattening you up. Everything you put in your mouth has a purpose... if, that is, you're eating real foods as opposed to over-processed fatty junk that fills and fattens you up with nutrient-less calories.

Really Superfruits http://video.planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/acai-marketing-claims.html, embody the whole multitasking your meals concept. Superfruits are exotic fruits from around the world known to have the highest concentration of nutrients and antioxidants.

Problem is, superfruits are often hard to come by at your local grocery store. SO, drink your superfruits. Which is where you often come to yet another problem: sugar, calories, and fillers. Many "fruit" juices are really sugar drinks flavored with fruit juice- sometimes containing as little as 3% juice. You will get more of the nutrient-rich benefits and ingest less calories if you look for superfruit juices in their purest form and just lightly sweetened with natural sweeteners that are low on the glycemic index like agave. Bossa Nova has a full-line of superfruit juices only lightly sweetened with natural agave and they only have 110-130 calories per bottle, so you're not breaking your calorie bank.

Start your day the Smart & Skinny way: by replacing your OJ with superfruit juice.
