Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger. Beyond Spinach – Tasty Greens For Your Green Smoothie Spinach is the most common green used in smoothies because it is universally liked, has a mild flavor, a soft texture and is easy to blend. The flavor of spinach is easy to mask with fruit. Spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients, but it is not the only green that you can use in your green smoothie. In fact, it is better to vary your greens so that you can benefit from the slightly different nutrient profiles from different leafy greens. I recommend that you use 2 cups of raw, chopped greens per smoothie for beginners. The nutrition profiles below are for one cup. As always, I highly recommend purchasing organic produce whenever necessary. Here are some other leafy greens to consider adding to your green smoothies: Swiss Chard Swiss chard is a great spinach alternative as it has a similarly delicate flavor and softer leaves that blend well in most blenders. Swiss chard is an excellent source of vitamins A (as beta-carotine), C, K as well as magnesium, manganese, potassium and iron. Parsley

Strong chest muscles are a necessity whether you are trying to be a better athlete or just trying to make daily activities easier, such as pushing one of those big Costco shopping carts around. When you are trying to balance work, family, and gym time, you want to make sure you manage your time effectively and get the most bang for your buck. This includes choosing the right exercises for your fitness routine so that you get the results you want quickly and effectively.

Tennis Elbow: Tendonosis vs Tendonitis Exercise Fix Thanks for all the comments on the post below Tennis Elbow Pain: Tendinosis vs Tendonitis I was hoping to get the answer back to you sooner, but I was holed up in the lab almost all of yesterday running data on the Monster Energy Drink Study so that I can graduate soon! The good news is that I shot a video for you, so check it out if you want some options to get rid of that elbow pain. Notes: I used a Kettlebell here for a weight, but any weight will work fineMake sure it is not too painful. Again, this is just an option to try. Long term, I recommend some mobility work (like Z-Health) to keep all your joints working well. You wil also have to drop any movements/exercises that are creating pain in your training, yes even if that is the beloved KB swing. Remember, if you are in pain, you will not have amazing athletic performance (and it just plain sucks) Any comments, let me know! Rock on Mike T Nelson
