When you screw up on your resolutions (and why it's not exactly when you think)

Hey guys,

The first week of 2020 is coming to a close already!

And for some of you, you've already given up on some of those life-changing resolutions you were so romantic about last week, am I right? Usually that happens when we've set too many goals at the same time or set one goal that was just a bit too unrealistic. 



But maybe you're not a resolution setter. Maybe you're like me - trying to use everyday to progress and challenge yourself to get better. Or maybe you are still going really strong on those goals!



Either way, you will find yourself saying at some point, "I screwed up." And here's what's important to know: You did NOT screw up at that point. But you're about to. Let me explain...



Check out my latest Workshop Wednesday video where I share why you did not screw up when you think...and how it's actually foreshadowing that you're likely on the path to actually screwing up. Of course I'm going to tell you how to turn around and NOT screw up, after all. 



I explain a bit about some of the content you can expect more of from me in 2020 in the beginning of the video. Make sure you're following me over on Facebook and Instagram to get all content. I post a lot inside my stories as well, so check those out if you need more healthy information + inspiration (with an occasional dose of cute kiddos). ;-)



I'm always happy to hear from YOU as well... anything in particular that you'd like me to cover this year? Hit 'reply' to this email and let me know. I've got a running list and plan to hit it all, if possible!




Happy New Year!!




XO,

Maple Mango Banana Chai Smoothie Bowl

You will want to grab a spoon and enjoy every bite of this smoothie bowl! You can use leftover chai spice in your tea or coffee with a little coconut milk or cream. Yummmmmm!

Maple-Mango-Banana Chai Smoothie Bowl

(Serves 1)

Ingredients:

½ large frozen banana, sliced

½ cup frozen mango

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp nut butter (almond or your fav)

1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, cashew, coconut, pea, etc.)

½ tsp of the chai spice blend (recipe below)

(Optional: toppings of your choice – coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, berries, etc.)

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until combined. You might have to scrape the sides or use the plunger, as this will be thick.

2. Remove from blender into a bowl, add toppings and enjoy immediately!

Chai spice blend (this makes more than is needed in the recipe above!)

Ingredients:

2 tsp ground cardamom

2 tsp ground allspice

4 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp ground cloves

6 tsp ground ginger

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a small jar, cover, and shake vigorously to combine. Store remaining blend in an airtight container.

Are you a fan of chai this time of year? To me it says Autumn as much as a cup of pumpkin-anything. ;-)

In health + tastiness,

Tara
