Green Dreams of Kale Smoothies

Yesterday I took a special trip out to Decatur for the grand opening of Kale Me Crazy.

Kale Me Crazy is a juice and smoothie bar that also offers healthy catering. You can find them at 3 locations around Atlanta. Their new Decatur store is their 3rd location.

I love Kale and I love freebies, so I decided to drive down and get a taste of Kale Me Crazy.

There was a long line when I arrived, but it moved pretty quickly. People in line were browsing the brown paper menus, I already knew exactly what I wanted. I was going to get the Green Dream. A blend of Kale, spinach, pineapple, mint leaves, and coconut water.

As I waited they were passing out samples and I was able to get a taste of the Tropical Trippin and Super Matcha. Both were very tasty. 

The Trop Trippin is a blend of orange, mango, pineapple, coconut yogurt, and coconut milk.

The Super Matcha is a blend of matcha tea, blueberries, banana, spinach, chia seeds, agave, and almond milk.

After a short wait my smoothie arrived!

It was very tasty. Semisweet with a hint of mint. It was a very hearty smoothie. It felt like a meal. 3 hours later I was still full. Not bad for a free meal.

Have you tried kalemecrazy yet? What is your favorite green smoothie?

It was fun trying something new and I always enjoy supporting local businesses.

Looking forward to sampling more healthy eats around the city.

Saying Good-Bye to Amor Fitness & Nutrition

This week Amor Fitness & Nutrition has officially closed its doors. I have so many fond memories working with Adele and the entire Team Amor Family.

I began my journey with Adele about 4 years ago. I finally took the leap to compete in my 1st bodybuilding competition and Adele was taking the leap to competition prep coach. She was the 1st female bodybuilder I had met and she helped guide my nutrition and posing for my 1st competition. I placed 1st in my class and won best poser in my 1st show. It was so much fun and I totally had the competition bug! She helped me prep for my next 2 shows where I placed 2nd.

Through being part of Team Amor I met so many amazing people! I found a family among bikini, figure, physique, and bodybuilders.

I took a break from the stage and started training at the Garage. This gave me a chance to get to know all the members of our growing team and to work one-on-one with my fellow competitors. I had the opportunity to help our competitors and our clients meet their fitness goals. It was pretty amazing to be part of the process and watch these women and men meet their goals.

I loved working with a local small business. When you work at a local gym it is more like being part of a family than just an employee with an employer.

The business may have closed, but I take with me years of memories, great friendships, and great resources. I know the whole Amor Fitness Family will go on to do great things. I look forward to seeing what the New Year brings for all of us.

Health and Happiness,
