I am all for healthy living. When you stop and think about it, health is one of the most important things you have. It is also something that we tend to take for granted when we are in good health. This healthy living post is brought to you by United Healthcare.

Three Dares For Making Healthy Choices:

Making healthy choices

I want to tell you about a new website called wedareyoutoshare.com. The goal of the website is to get people to take small steps to live a little bit healthier every day by making healthy choices. Each month they come up with fun dares for making healthy choices and when you complete a dare, you can enter to win a VISA gift card! Being rewarded for making healthy choices is pretty sweet, right?

For March, the three dares will be; sharing a photo of a healthy breakfast, taking a nutrition quiz, and watching a video on nutrition labels. By completing these dares participants will be entered to win $25 Visa gift cards weekly and the chance to win the grand prize of a $400 Visa gift card!

Healthy Breakfast Choices:

We have all heard how important breakfast is. We would never dream of sending our kids to school without breakfast and we should do the same for ourselves. Eating breakfast in the morning is an important part of starting your metabolism going again after a night’s sleep. Breakfast is important to making sure your body an brain have what they need to get going and function at their best.

A healthy breakfast should contain some fiber, some protein, and some fruit or veggies.
Here are few healthy breakfast choices just to give you some ideas:

*Oatmeal, nuts, and fresh fruit
*Nut butter and fruit breakfast wrap
*Eggs, whole wheat toast, and fresh fruit
*Gluten-Free Blueberry Tartlets
*Low-fat Greek yogurt with fruit and granola
*Green Smoothie

healthy breakfast choices
Make healthy breakfast choices- here is my healthy green smoothie with blackberries, spinach, bananas, soy milk, flax seed, and chia.

I had a healthy green smoothie for breakfast today and submit a photo at wedareyoutoshare.com for a chance to win!

There are two more easy healthy choices you can make for a chance to win. You can a take the nutrition quiz which I also did and I am happy to tell you that it was only one question long- that’s my kind of quiz! You can also watch the nutrition label video which is only a few minutes and tells you the most important area of labels to focus on and then answer one question for another chance to win.

Will you do all three of these dares for making healthy choices? Why do you make healthy choices (or do you do it for)? What are your favorite healthy breakfast choices?

    To tell the truth, a couple of my kids hate eating breakfast. I will have to start making smoothies again (I make a couple green smoothies). They love those healthy choices. I’m going grocery shopping today!

    It’s a battle to get my kids to eat anything in the morning, too! I manage to get a bit into them, but it’s always a struggle, even though my girls love to eat things like oatmeal and yogurt. Just not for breakfast, evidently. 😉

    I like a glass of orange juice and a couple handfuls of granola for a healthy breakfast.
