WANT: Summertime is here and everyone’s in the pool! We shared this beautiful photo by Yazoo Restorations on Instagram and lots of you asked about the pool chairs. We scouted a similar pair locally at Villa Vici! Check them out here.

LOVE: There is nothing better than summer nights spent by the pool. Emeril recently shared his favorite poolside recipes including a Strawberry Lemon Crush and Chili-Rubbed Shrimp Wraps. Yum! Explore more of his go-to recipes here.

WHAT WE'RE MAKING: THE BERRY PICK-ME-UP SMOOTHIE

Packed with health benefits, this delicious and filling smoothie developed by the fitness experts at Charlotte, North Carolina-based exercise studio Hilliard Studio Method is perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up.  The smoothie ingredients can aid in everything from digestion to fighting viruses to strengthening the immune system to rebuilding muscle, so after drinking the easy-to-make beverage you’ll be ready to tackle your workout—or whatever the day has in store for you.

I’ve never been to Charlotte, North Carolina. That means I have never stepped foot into Hilliard Studio Method nor do I really know Liz and Clary. But I first laid eyes on them in 2012 in The Scout Guide Charlotte Volume 1. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with this mother-daughter duo and their transformative, power-packed workouts and lifestyle tips. 

I have followed them religiously since then (even if that didn’t always quite push me to get to that exercise class like I know I should have). Instead, I brought them into my home with the HSM Signature Smoothie and their Videos on Demand. 

I crave the HSM Smoothie (especially after seven days straight of events like I had last week). When I am feeling dehydrated or in need of energy, I go straight to my magic bullet and begin pulsing away. 

A smoothie is a smoothie is a smoothie, but there obviously has to be something to their recipe that keeps these girls looking so good. I asked them to share with us the reasons they selected the ingredients they did and then, of course, the recipe too. 

HSM Signature Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients: ¼ avocado Juice of ½ lime 1 cup organic mixed berries 2 scoops Tera's Vanilla Whey protein powder (rBGH Free vanilla, organic plain, or goat whey) 1 scoop Catie’s Organic Greens powder 1 scoop Catie’s Organic Vitamin C Plus powder 1 tbsp chia seeds 1 cup ice 2/3 cup of coconut water

Blend ingredients, pop in a straw, and enjoy an energy-filled morning!

When I travel and sometimes at home too, I use the HSM Videos on Demand. You’re in luck because they just released a brand new video for the summer, Beach Body Workout. If the title isn’t enough to grab your attention, what if I told you it only takes 20 minutes a day? INSANE. Find the video and more beach body tips on our newly revamped national TSG website, your new beach read. 

And if these girls fascinate you like they do me, you will be thrilled to learn they are coming to New Orleans in June for Brandshop. Buy your ticket for their class now. I guarantee they will inspire you to Be Powerful in all that you do.
