Hey Chicks,
Happy Wednesday! I tried to blog last week but my internet was down on Wednesday (data outage with Rogers!) so I am a week late and this has now technically become my first blog of 2013 – yipee!
Drinking my veggies with my glass straw!
Over the Xmas holidays I received a lot of great gifts from family and friends (even though I am apparently really hard to buy gifts for!). When I came home from Ottawa, a friend asked me what was my favorite gift that I received over the holidays and the first thing that came to mind was not the expensive extra pressies or thoughful trinkets I received but actually a replacement to something I had lost: a glass straw!
Berry & Frozen Broccoli Smoothie...so delicious!
Now if you have a glass straw, you feel my excitement and affection for it. It is as much a part of my daily routine as my tooth brush!
This glass straw has some pretty bling 🙂
For those who do not have a glass straw, basically it is a reusable straw made out of glass (hence the name:). But why is it so awesome?
- It’s reusable! Less waste for the environment and comes with a little brush to make sure you get it squeaky clean.
- It is BPA free. Aka you are not ingesting some not so good for you extra plastic as you would with a reg straw.
- No mess! If you have ever tried sipping a thick green smoothie out of a pint glass, you know what I am talking about 🙂
- Less teeth stains and no green smoothie moustaches
- Makes your smoothies taste more delicious. They really do feel like a milkshake when sipped through a straw:)
Plus they are a super affordable gift of health to give to anyone (if you want a simple one without any bling, it will cost less than $10!).
This is what happens when you don't use the straw - Green Smoothie Moustache!!
So chicks, get a sweet glass straw, try a simple green smoothie recipe if you are new to it and love Livin la Vida FIT CHICK as much as we do!
Have a super fab day!
Laura, your Head Chick
