May 1st! Can you believe it? This year is almost half over already. And so is our Spring into Summer Challenge. Participants have finished the cleanse portion of the challenge and are entering week 3 - our lifestyle week! This is where each participant receives a meal plan tailored to their specific caloric needs. All foods are included (yes, even carbs!) and we show our participants what a lifestyle of CCN begins to look like. 

A favorite from week 2 was this Strawberry Tossed Salad and since it's prime strawberry season, we thought we'd share!
