One of the benefits of the holiday break for me, believe it or not, is having more time for exercise. Despite the cookies and cakes and rich holiday foods, the close of the year meant that deadlines had been met and my final push at work was done. During my busy season, despite my best efforts, my workout routine suffers, and I felt it sorely (pun intended) when I finally was able to start working out again on a regular basis. So even if the sweets were everywhere, I was getting stronger and stronger, bit by bit.

Now that the kids are back to school today, I was able to meet up with my workout buddies for the first time in forever to sweat it out. It felt so good to run outside and catch up with everyone! The year is off to a good start, and I’ve made a promise to myself that no matter how busy things get for me next holiday season, I won’t let it get so busy that my health and fitness suffers again. I’ll have to remind myself to return to this post next November ;)

With each spin on the Peloton and boot camp with friends, I feel more energized, and to keep that feeling going all day long, I’ve been turning more and more to my favorite smoothies. Lately, I’ve been churning out this Pomegranate Berry Smoothie to refuel and rehydrate after my workouts. It’s chock full of antioxidants, vitamin C, and has anti-inflammatory properties – all good things to keep us healthy this time of year! So if you’re working on any resolutions, or simply want to find a new smoothie to try, give this one a whirl and let me know how it goes!

      Hi Yvette, the arils are for garnish, and they do add extra nutrients. However, feel free to leave them out if you can’t find them.

      Hi Mackenzie! The glasses are Duralex Picardie tumblers and can be found at Williams Sonoma and Sur la Table. I bought mine at a local houseware store here in the Bay Area. You can also find it on Amazon (Affiliate link)!

    I love how you spin! I’ve had my eye on that bike for a short time… and I’ve done spin in the past, when I lived near a gym. Now that I’m out in the boonies, I really could use some added motivation. So glad t hear you’re back on track! This smoothie is fabulous and just look at that color! So needed on this Monday ; ). Thank you for the link love xo

      Traci this is so delayed — but I have to say, I really recommend the Peloton – I’ve had it for over 3 years and it’s the best! xo
