In honor of Heart Month, we’ve decided to dedicate every Tasty Tuesday this month to heart healthy recipe. This week, we’re kicking it off with a heart healthy breakfast smoothie, adapted from the Heart and Stroke Foundation, that is the perfect option for those of you who are too busy in the morning to sit down and eat. Grab it on the go, fuel up for the day and feel good about what you’re feeding your body and your heart!
Find the full recipe below.
You know you want to get healthier this year, and heading to the gym and being active is part of that plan. But figuring out workout ideas once you’ve gotten to the gym can present a whole different kind of problem. It can be hard to pick which type of exercises you want to do and little bit daunting if the exercises you attempt are not broken down into step by step, day by day progressions. Which is why we’re thrilled to introduce to you (and challenge you!) to the below 4 week squat challenge by PopSugar.
Take each workout day by day and at the end of day 30, tell us about your results. And don’t forget, you can come try your workouts at the brand new PGX Center for free!
Do you have a great workout to share? Let us, and your fellow PGX’ers, know all about it below in the comments. Let’s get fit together!
PGX’ers, we’re more than excited to tell you about the opening of our brand new PGX Center, a place that you can call home.
Join us for the Grand Opening in Coquitlam, BC, happening this Friday and Saturday, and check out what the new Center has to offer. Plus, if you drop by this Friday, you just might run into Dawn Chubai from Breakfast Television! We’ll also be giving away a small gift pack of product to those who stop by. Learn more about what the PGX Center is all about below.
The PGX Center is a place where you can go for support with your weight loss journey. More than just a place to workout, although you’re welcome to utilize our exercise rooms whenever you visit, the PGX Center is a place where you can talk to our expert staff, learn how to use PGX and come together as a community of PGX’ers on the journey to lifelong health.
Every part of the PGX program at the PGX Center is free, with the exception of the DEXA scan, a scan which measures body composition, body fat percent and bone density, and PGX products, which will be available for purchase.
We look forward to seeing you!

Stay healthy, PGX’ers!
PGX’er, A.N., wrote in to tell us that PGX had helped her in a way she never thought possible; it helped stop her sugar cravings! We were thrilled to hear from A.N. about her success with PGX. Read A.N.’s full testimonial below.
“Hi, I just want to thank you for this product!! I bought my first bottle last Thursday and am amazed!! I was a sugar addict. I was always craving sweets and it was wrecking my diet. I had looked at PGX several times and never bought it. Then one day I said ?well, I think I will give it a try?. I am totally sold on this product. I have not had a craving for sweets since I started taking this and my insides feel calm, that’s the only way I can explain it, a calmness inside me. I feel satisfied all the time now. I am doing the Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise and really like the diet and PGX is a good additive. I need to lose about 30 lbs and I know I will do it! A very satisfied customer!
A.N.”
We want to hear from you! Share you PGX success story with us.
We’ve found an excellent infographic to share. So often I hear people say, “I’m exercising regularly but I can’t see anything changing!” Well, I’m sure on the inside, plenty of good things are happening, but if you can’t seem to lose the weight, then it could be your nutrition. Check out this infographic and get the skinny on workout nutrition!
Seeing how yesterday we discussed what constitutes the Paleo Diet and what doesn’t, I thought that we could explore some different paleo recipe options today for Tasty Tuesday. With restrictions on several food categories that many people would describe as an integral part of their daily diet (think dairy and cereal grains), I can appreciate that finding delicious paleo recipes may be a bit of a challenge – especially, for breakfast.
Fortunately for all of you paleo eaters out there, we have found a cumulation of 20 Paleo Breakfast Ideas from the blog, Life With 4 Boys, that all look absolutely drool-worthy! From egg benedict to waffles, these recipes look so good that people who aren’t even following the paleo diet may want to try them. And don’t forget to sprinkle your PGX on beforehand!
All the chocolate fans raise your hands! WOW, that’s a lot of hands! Well, you don’t need to feel guilty about indulging in these bite-size brownies! This recipe uses applesauce to add moisture without any unwanted fat.
At only 81 calories per serving you can stick to your plan and indulge from time to time.
