Chocolate Shakeology Recipe: Berry-Banana

Frozen food gets a bad rap. While fresh can be healthier, it’s not guaranteed. Truth is, flash freezing is a great way to preserve vitamins and minerals when vegetables and seafood are at their freshest. Rather than letting the food decline in quality as it’s harvested, flash freezing helps seal in the freshness immediately. In fact, many times it’s actually healthier than food that’s traveled hundreds of miles in a less than ideal environment. Not to mention, it’s also usually cheaper!

If you can choose fresh local foods, go for it. But flash frozen food is a great alternative and can be just as healthy.

I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
