We’re still celebrating our military kiddos with this last Recipe Thursday in April! Healthy Breakfast Sundaes are a sweet treat that they will enjoy and so will you! Follow these simple instructions: 1. Freeze bananas until very frozen. Cut them in quarters so they will blend or process easily.... 2. Add yogurt, fresh (or thawed from frozen) berries, and frozen bananas to a blender or into a food processor bowl. Process until combined and the consistency is soft and fluffy like soft serve. 3. If you want scoopable ice cream, add to a freezer container, and freeze for 1-3 hours. Otherwise, top with desired toppings and just eat like soft serve!

TIP TUESDAY: SPRINT-DRAG-CARRY Sprinting may seem like an intuitive task, but sprinting form is generally not assessed and corrected. For good technique, ensure that you: Keep torso upright and engaged. Keep arms locked at right angles.... Avoid jumping into the change of direction. For the drag and carry portion of the exercise, prevent unnecessary arm fatigue by: Keeping the shoulder blades retracted and down. Not flexing elbows (unlike the sprint!), keep arms extended. #tiptuesday #acft #fortbenning #awc #fittofight #healthyarmycommunities

Even the aspirations of the brightest minds in history didn’t always go according to plan. However, with the right mindset, even failures can be viewed in a positive light, as a step to success! #goalgetter #mondaymotivation #progress #fortbenning #awc
