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.

Health and Happiness,

Weekend Recap and #NoExcuses Challenge

I had a great time hanging out with family and friends this weekend.

On Friday Anthony and I had a free dinner with The Fundamental Kitchen(TFK). TFK sells high end cookware and in an attempt to show you the value of their cookware they serve you a 3 course meal. A 3 course meal with champagne and wine. The meal itself was very carb heavy, I would have preferred an additional green vegetable instead of all the starch. I didn't know what we would be eating so I ate low carb most of the day so it balanced out.The most impressive part of the demo was their stove top pineapple cake. It was so tasty I forgot to get a photo. We also walked away with a free bottle of wine. Not bad for a free demo!


Then on Saturday my Dad took Alicia and I out to Bikram Yoga Decatur for 90 minutes of Hot Yoga! It has been years since I took a hot yoga class and this was Alicia's 1st time. I was pouring sweat just working through the prana breathing exercises during our warm up. The heat felt amazing and really helped me stretch deeper into each position. Our instructor was great. The class was packed but he called us by name, gave thorough instruction, and gave us a variety of options for each position. He truly taught to all levels and made us feel comfortable working at whichever level we chose. I would definitely come back again.
