Hey Chicks,<\/p>\n

Happy Wednesday!\u00a0 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!<\/p>\n

\"green<\/a>

Drinking my veggies with my glass straw!<\/p><\/div>\n

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!).\u00a0 When I came home from Ottawa, a friend asked me what was my favorite gift that I received over the holidays <\/strong>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:\u00a0 a glass straw!<\/a><\/p>\n

\"berry<\/a>

Berry & Frozen Broccoli Smoothie...so delicious!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now if you have a glass straw, you feel my excitement and affection for it.<\/strong> It is as much a part of my daily routine as my tooth brush!<\/p>\n

\"glass<\/a>

This glass straw has some pretty bling \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

For those who do not have a glass straw<\/a>, basically it is a reusable straw made out of glass (hence the name:).<\/strong> But why is it so awesome?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It’s reusable!<\/strong> Less waste for the environment and comes with a little brush to make sure you get it squeaky clean.<\/li>\n
  2. It is BPA free.<\/strong> Aka you are not ingesting some not so good for you extra plastic as you would with a reg straw.<\/li>\n
  3. No mess!<\/strong> If you have ever tried sipping a thick green smoothie<\/a> out of a pint glass, you know what I am talking about \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  4. Less teeth stains and no green smoothie moustaches<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Makes your smoothies taste more delicious.<\/a> They really do feel like a milkshake when sipped through a straw:)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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!<\/a>).<\/p>\n

    \"green<\/a>

    This is what happens when you don't use the straw - Green Smoothie Moustache!!<\/p><\/div>\n

    So chicks, get a sweet glass straw, try a simple green smoothie recipe<\/a> if you are new to it and love Livin la Vida FIT CHICK as much as we do!<\/a><\/p>\n

    Have a super fab day!<\/p>\n

    Laura, your Head Chick<\/p>\n

    PS Our next “FIT & FIERCE” retreat is posted – woot woot! <\/a>Come and hang out with us for a weekend of all things FIT CHICK on March 1-3<\/strong> so make sure to grab your spot:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
