Have you tried matcha? 🍵 I made the switch from 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.

Eat the Rainbow Vegan Bowl

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
count nutrients, not calories.

As cliche as it might sound, “eat the rainbow” is an incredible health tip. Eating a diverse range of colorful plant-based foods has a whole lot of health benefits including keeping a healthy gut. This Eat the Rainbow Vegan Bowl is loaded with natural color from my favorite plant-based ingredients. The best and most colorful part is the raspberry vinaigrette dressing which you will be addicted to!

How to Eat the Rainbow:

Colorful & Flavorful Rainbow Ingredients

What’s great about this “eat the rainbow” bowl is you can customize it however you’d like. Keep it fresh, plant-based, and natural. Eating the rainbow doesn’t include artificial color! Here’s what I used in this particular version:

  • Romaine.
  • Sweet Potatoes.
  • Black Beans.
  • Corn.
  • Cucumber.
  • Cherry Tomatoes.
  • Cous Cous.
  • Avocado.
  • Red Onion.
  • Parsley.
  • Vegan Feta.
  • Raspberry Vinaigrette.

Flavorful Raspberry Vinaigrette

For the dressing I made a raspberry vinaigrette which is not only delicious but is a stunning pink color. Here’s how to make it:

  1. To a blender add your ingredients: olive oil, raspberries, red wine vinegar, garlic cloves, dijon mustard, and sea salt.
  2. I used frozen raspberries, but you can absolutely use fresh raspberries too. If you do though you MUST properly wash your berries. Not only is this sanitary, it will make the dressing last longer.
  3. To wash fresh raspberries, add to a large bowl of water with a generous splash of white vinegar and a spoonful of baking soda. Let the berries sit for about 15 minutes, then rinse them well in water. Pat dry to finish.
  4. Add the dressing to a squeeze bottle or any type of jar. It should keep in the fridge for a couple weeks.

Eat the Rainbow Vegan Bowl

Eat the Rainbow with this colorful and nutrient dense vegan bowl.
Servings: 2 bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 head Romaine
  • 1/4 cup Cous Cous I used Trader Joe's Harvest Grains
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 1 Sweet Potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1-2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 cup Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 small ears Corn
  • 2 Persian Cucumbers, diced
  • 8 Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup Parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 Avocado, cubed
  • 2 tbsp Vegan Feta

Raspberry Vinaigrette

  • 1 cup Raspberries
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Start by chopping up your head of romaine. Wash it well then spin in a salad spinner to remove excess water. Set aside.
  • Peel and cube 1 medium sized sweet potato. Toss the cubes in avocado oil, paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. Air fry at 400 until tender and slightly crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Rinse your cous cous then cook in water and keep covered. It will cook quickly so keep an eye on it. When it's ready drain any excess liquid.
  • For the dressing, simply add all of the ingredients in a blender. Store in a squeeze bottle or any jar. This dressing keeps best in the fridge for a couple weeks. I used frozen strawberries, but if you're using fresh berries make sure to wash them well beforehand. I add my berries to a bowl of water with white vinegar and baking soda and let it sit for about 15 minutes to remove any debris. Rinse well with water then pat dry.
  • Meanwhile assemble all of your ingredients - drain and rinse the black beans (is using canned), chop the kernels from the earns of corn, dice the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion, finely chop the parsley, and cube your avocado.
  • Divide everything between 2 bowls starting with romaine. On top of the romaine add the remaining ingredients. Finish with a drizzle of the dressing.

Add ingredients to your juicer then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Stir in about 1/2 tsp black pepper (this is what will activate the turmeric)

Divide between juice bottles and enjoy within 4-5 days. Adults feel free to have up to 3 of these juices per day.
