Food To Chew On;
Friday – It Was Worth It!!!
Matthew 13:46 (KJV)
Who, when he had found one
pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Thought For The Day:
He found the pearl of greatest price,
My heart doth sing of joy;
And sing I must for I am His,
And He is mine of aye.” G.

Good Fabulous Friday we concern about the whole man… mind, body
and soul… it is very important. Here are some wonderful tips that will keep us
on the right track of life;
1. Express yourself
Don’t try to bottle up every emotion and thought. Self-expression
is a great thing, and it helps us maintain a good attitude. Think of a few
activities you’d love to do through out the week and try to make at least one
of them happen – maybe a trip to the museum or beach? Whatever it is, let your
true self reveal itself. If you can do that, then you can be yourself.
2. Laugh Everyday
Laughter really is the best medicine. Chemically, it stimulates
the brain and literally makes us feel better. It’s good for those around us
too. So crack a funny joke, or enjoy a good laugh with your coworkers. Whatever
it is, laugh!
3. Practice Humility
While you should always have self-confidence, and know your
faults. Don’t be ashamed of them, but rather aware of what they are and how you
can work on them. Accept it – you’re not perfect!
We are in our series on Smoothies… J We always believe in Low Calorie foods and drinks, but it does not have to be bland foods…
we don’t have to sacrifice taste for low calorie foods…. With all things we
have to watch our intake to keep on being successful in everything we do…
Low-Calorie Fruit Smoothies
The word "smoothie" implies healthy
ingredients and low calories. You may assume it contains far fewer calories
than a milkshake or frappe, but many smoothies contain high amounts of sugar
and calories. Making smoothies at home with healthy, natural ingredients can
help you control the calorie content and maximize the nutritional value.
Significance
A smoothie is a way to fit in extra servings
of fruits. Smoothies are a quick breakfast or snack option that may prevent
meal skipping and extreme hunger. Fruit smoothies purchased at a smoothie bar
or quick service restaurant, however, often contain more than 500 calories and
100 g sugar, or 25 tsp. worth. To improve the flavor, many smoothie makers
include fruit-flavored syrups, frozen yogurt or sorbet instead of only fresh
fruits.
Ingredients
Making smoothies at home is the best way to
control the ingredients and calorie content. Use unsweetened frozen fruits,
such as strawberries, blueberries and peaches. Keep a few frozen bananas on
hand to add creaminess to your smoothies without having to add ice cream or
sugary frozen yogurt. To make the fruit blendable, use low-calorie liquids,
such as low-fat cow, soy or almond milk. Fruit juices tend to be a concentrated
source of calories and sugar and contribute no fiber to the blend. Plain,
non-fat yogurt, no-calorie sweeteners, ice cubes and fresh fruit are other
possible additions.
A Healthy Menu For
Friday
The American Dietetic Association says a
person should shop the four corners of the grocery store: produce aisle for
fruits and vegetables, bakery for whole grains, meat department for lean
proteins and dairy case for low-fat milk. For breakfast, a boiled egg with two
slices of whole-wheat toast and a glass of low-fat milk will start anyone out
on the right foot. For lunch, a person should try a tuna sandwich made with
low-fat mayonnaise on whole-wheat bread, topped with sliced cucumbers, and a
fresh apple. For dinner, a bean burrito on a whole-wheat tortilla with low-fat
cheddar cheese and salsa, brown rice,
and a tossed salad with low-fat salad dressing is a
delicious way to end the day.
