The Perfect Smoothie - Stroller Strides Style!

At Stroller Strides we often talk in our class about recipes, favorite snacks, food for our kids and how to be healthy.

We all agree that getting to class in the morning can be a challenge, especially for moms with multiple children. Here is a great way to get your mommy nutrition and be fueled up for class:

The Perfect Smoothie!

1/2 cup berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries - can be fresh or frozen)

1 small banana, peeled

2/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice, chilled (OJ also works)

1/2 cup ice

2 Tbsp. low-fat plain yogurt (I like vanilla too)

3 tsp. wheat germ or flax seed meal

Optional:

1 tsp. honey

1 scoop protein powder (I always add this!)

Put ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. YUMMY!

What's your favorite way to fuel up?

Our FREE Preview Week is coming at Stroller Strides

During the spring I held a FREE Preview Week for moms. It was very well attended and everyone seemed to have a really great time. So, I'm doing it again. Here is the info and YOU are invited!

Summer is on it's way out & that means the holidays are just around the corner. You can be ready to wear that Little Black Dress this season and we're here to help.

If you have been putting off trying a Stroller Strides class or have joined us before but would like to give it another try, please come help us kick off our FALL FITNESS FRENZY.

Stroller Strides of Bend is offering a FREE Preview Week - September 15 - 18. Classes start at 9:15 am at the foot of Pilot Butte. All fitness levels are welcome and we'd love to see you there.

All you need to bring is yourself, your baby & your stroller. We'll lead you the rest of the way with a fun, full body workout.

On Monday, Wednesday & Thursday we'll use the walking track at the bottom of the hill. On Tuesday, September 16 we will be walking UP the butte with a mini workout at the top.

Come one day or come all 4 - It's FREE!

This program is suitable for pregnant moms and mommies who are at least 6 weeks postpartum.

If you have any questions, please email me at: debis@strollerstrides.net

See you there!

Love Fries? Try this one for a healthy alternative

We at Stroller Strides of Bend love fries. But it's hard to justify a large order of fries after a great climb up Pilot Butte or a killer arm workout. So, here's a healthy alternative that everyone can enjoy. It's especially great this time of year when you or your neighbors might be swimming in zucchini.

Bon Appetit!
