Welcome to the Daily Distance, a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care. 

After a trip to the Mayo Clinic and countless sleepless nights, John Redmond was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and encouraged to totally change his diet to one that was light on fruits and vegetables and heavy on processed foods. John Redmond knew there had to be a better way, and after a dietitian recommended a smoothie regimen, he went out to find a way to make a convenient, affordable single-serve option. Thus, Better Blends was born.

John and Kristen banter about his morning routine, why he drinks two cups of hot water every morning, his culinary aspirations that he’s fallen short of during quarantine, and more. This episode feels like two buddies chatting—it’s sure to make you smile.
