Drink Your Veggies Naked

March 27, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

.

The past three days have been filled with lots of snow, trees, and a few spills. We’re riding hard for at least 4 hours a day (closer to 6 most days) and eating a ton of delicious food. We’re really enjoying our break from normal this week!

Might Mango Naked

When we’re at home, I’m always looking for ways to squeeze in a few extra servings of fruits and veggies. In addition to green smoothies for breakfast, I’ve been buying produce to bring to the office for the afternoon munchies. Things like sugar snap peas & ugli fruit fit nicely into my lunchbox and tide me over until dinner.

When we’re on vacation, the food we eat is typically richer than normal and often less green. It’s a little harder to start the day with a green smoothie when you’re staying in a hotel!

Naked Fruit Smoothies

Luckily, the hotel market has a wide selection of Naked Juice smoothies that we’ve been enjoying after our day on the slopes. When I was asked to review two new flavors, you know I jumped at the opportunity! My usual Naked smoothie choice is Green Machine,but I was happy to branch out and try Strawberry Banana and Mighty Mango this week.

While both flavors were good, Mighty Mango was my favorite (the one I’ve bought a few times now). It’s thick, creamy, and love the mango flavor without all the work of peeling and dicing a mango. Naked Juice smoothies are one of my favorites, because they aren’t filled with a ton of extra junk you don’t need. No added sugar, no preservatives, no GMOs. Thank goodness!

Naked in Vail

If I don’t get enough veggies throughout the day, my body really does crave them! I really love drinks like this as a convenient way to “get my fix” when we’re on the go.

Naked Juice is worth its weight in good! There’s a pound of fruit in every bottle.

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
