This weeks WOW is all about nutrition.  Exercise has numerous benefits, but in the absence of proper nutrition your exercise is not being optimized.  The challenge for the upcoming week is to sit down as a family and come up with 3 healthy dinners and desserts.  Ideally your meals will have no sugar/added sugars.  In addition to coming up with the dinner menu, include the whole family in the grocery shopping experience, it is a great opportunity to teach the kids about fresh ingredients and healthy options.
I have included the den Daas family menu for 1 evening as an example below:
Dinner:
Romaine lettuce wrap chicken tacos with shredded cheddar cheese, black beans, avocado, salsa and white rice.  
Dessert:
Homemade blueberry, banana, peanut butter swirl "ice cream". 
To prepare: add all ingredients to a food processor and mix. 

• 1 cup of blueberries
• 1 cup of frozen bananas
• 1 1/4 cubs of milk (your choice) almond, whole, coconut
• 1/4 cup of peanut butter (natural is preferred but any kind will work, just look for low sugar)
