Have you tried matcha? 🍵 I made the switch from coffee to matcha because I was getting bad symptoms from drinking coffee - jitters, anxiety, poor digestion.

Here’s why I switched to matcha:
🟢 Coffee hits you immediately like a ton of bricks while matcha comes on slowly. Your body receives the energy gradually so you feel energized without the anxiety inducing symptoms!

🟢 Matcha has a significant amount of antioxidants while coffee doesn’t have any. These antioxidants help fight disease, are anti-inflammatory, and slow aging.

🟢 Unlike coffee, matcha isn’t addictive. Quitting coffee literally causes withdrawal - those symptoms include headaches, fatigue, nausea, and muscle pain.

🟢 Ever notice coffee staining your teeth? Matcha does the opposite, it actually improves your oral health, can reduce plaque buildup, and fight bacteria thanks to the antioxidants.

Matcha is so easy to prepare and can be used in place of coffee for any fun drinks! Next time you’re at Starbucks or your local coffee shop, try switching your drink for matcha and see how you feel!

Kid Friendly Superseed Chewy Bars 🍫 I was int

Kid Friendly Superseed Chewy Bars 🍫

I was introduced to superseed bars through @elissagoodman when I lived in LA and did her cleanse, and have been obsessed ever since! I made a couple swaps to her original recipe - if you’re in LA find them at @erewhon 🧡

If you’re looking for healthy treats for your kids (or yourself!) these chewy & sweet bars are great and require no baking. A great alternative to store-bought chewy bars which often contain harmful ingredients.

Benefits include:

* ��High in antioxidants
🟠 Healthy source of vegan protein
🟠 Promotes heart health
🟠 Aids in healthy digestion
🟠 Anti-inflammatory

Here’s how to make 16 bars:

INGREDIENTS—
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cup cups organic brown rice crisp cereal
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup almond butter or tahini
- 1/2 cup agave
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS—
1. Grease an 8x8 pan with oil.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, brown rice cereal, chia seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, coconut, cinnamon and salt. Mix until combined and evenly distributed.

3. In a saucepan, add the agave, vanilla, and your nut butter or tahini. Use a rubber spatula to mix well - about 3 min.

4. Pour the nut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.

5. Transfer the mixture to the pan and spread into an even layer. Press down to ensure the bars don’t come apart. I start with my rubber spatula, then add a layer of parchment paper and stack on another 8x8 pan. Press firmly down.

6. Place the pan in the freezer covered with the parchment, second baking pan, and a pair of hand weights. Let sit for a few hours.

7. Remove from the freezer and carefully flip the pan to pop out the square. Cut into 16 even squares. Wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap and keep in the freezer, or keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Golden Mineral Broth 🫚🧡🍠🥕 RECIPE ⬇️

This mineral broth is my favorite way to stay warm and healthy during the colder months. Not only is it so easy to make and store, it’ll make your house smell amazing! You’ll get alllll the minerals including harder to get trace minerals which are SO healing.

Add 3 quarts of water to a pot and add in:
🟠 2 onions, peeled and diced
🟠 4 garlic cloves
🟠 1 bunch celery, chopped and leaves removed
🟠 5 large carrots, chopped and ends removed
🟠 8 dried shiitake mushrooms
🟠 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
🟠 1 thumb ginger, chopped
🟠 1 thumb turmeric, chopped
🟠 1 cup fresh herbs (I used tarragon and dill)
🟠 6 whole peppercorns
🟠 1 tsp sea salt
🟠 1-2 sheets kombu - tip from @tamaraluckrdn 🧡

Bring the water to a boil then simmer covered for 3-6 hours. The longer you simmer, the more flavorful your broth is. I recommend 6 hours if you can. Your house will smell incredible!

Strain liquid into a jar and store in the fridge for a week or the freezer up to 6 months. I recommend splitting the recipe into smaller jars and refrigerating only what you know you’ll consume so it doesn’t go bad.

What can inflammation look like?!

3. After about 5 minutes stirring occasionally, add in the spices, give it a quick stir, and cook for about a minute.
4. Add in 5 cups of broth along with the lentils, sweet potatoes, and canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil then let simmer covered for about 35-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the sweet potatoes are tender.

6. Top with @cocojune_organic vegan labneh and enjoy!

This recipe makes 10-12 servings. Keep stored in the fridge for a week or in the freezer a few months.
