Our Fav Fab Four Smoothie Recipes : Body Love by Kelly Leveque

Kelly Leveque, Fab Four Smoothie

I recently listened to a podcast with Kelly Leveque, author of Body Love, and I was immediately drawn to her. Her passion for truly fueling your body with what is best for you was inspiring and I ordered her book from Amazon before the podcast was over. Her Fab Four Smoothies are divine! 

Here's why I love Kelly! 

Kelly Leveque is a holistic nutritionist, wellness expert, and celebrity health coach based in Los Angeles, California. Be Well grew out of Kelly's lifelong passion for health, the science of nutrition and overall wellness. Guided by a practical and always optimistic approach, Kelly helps clients improve their health, achieve their goals and develop sustainable habits to live a healthy and balanced life.  

I'm all for learning from someone who ACTUALLY knows the science of how our bodies operate and what fuels them. I'm so over the low calorie, run until you die, fad. After running myself ragged the last few years trying to run a business, I've realized I NEED to fuel my body! Running a business can be a lot like running a marathon. And one of those things I need to fuel it with is fat (which America has told us is a big no no). Kelly teaches the Fab Four method which is  the perfect mix of Protein, Fat, Fiber and Greens. Adding healthy fats to our diet has increased our energy immensely. I shared some of our favorite Keto tips here but what I love about Kelly is she adds in fiber and greens to keep things balanced.

Kelly gives you tons of recipes and shows you exactly how to keep your meals balanced. Plus she gives you a perfect week and wait for it...
