Update!

45 participants thus far!  Please encourage fellow faculty/staff members to join us in this endeavor to better the health and well-being in our community.

I have received a few notes of gratitude for having set-up this challenge.  However, I must give credit to the other minds behind the operation.  A THANK YOU to Michele Oswood, Angie Dvorak and Megan Fiala for their time investment to date, and moving forward!  Christina Kroemer also assisted with logo development (gave Charlie Kohawk his set of abs!).

Nut milks (i.e. almond milk) have been added to the approved list for this week!

If you were to read one book throughout this challenge (or this Summer), I would recommend Fit for Life.

Simple Banana Shake

Frozen Banana(s)
Almond Milk
Nutmeg (to taste)

In a blender, combine the ingredients above per your own taste, and texture.

Or, substitute strawberries (fresh or frozen) for the nutmeg.
