Workout Mama
An Interview with Fitness Guru Kathy Smith
By Teri Brown
iP: Do you like to cook? If so, what are your favorite foods to make?
KS: I love being in the kitchen. For breakfast, there's always a lot of fresh fruits, like oranges and papayas. I use bananas and fresh or frozen fruit (blueberries, raspberries) in my protein shakes. I eat fresh vegetables daily. And I'm a big salad lover (arugula), with peppers (red and yellow), cucumbers, carrots. And never without an avocado. Whether for guacamole or sliced on a salad or sandwich, I love avocados. Breakfast is either oatmeal (steel cut) or cooked Kashi. And now I'm loving all the Kashi cold cereals, including the 7grain flakes. Egg-white omelets. What else? The other thing you'll find in my kitchen is a good stock of tea. I love Tazo brand herbal infusion calm. And Numi brand Jasmin green.
iP: When your children were small, how did you incorporate fitness into their lives?
