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.

What can inflammation look like?!

1 white onion, diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 tsp garlic powder

3 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups lentils
3 cups chopped spinach

INGREDIENTS
1. Add olive oil to a pot on a low medium heat.
2. Once hot, add in the chopped onions and carrots.
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.
5. Add in the last 2 cups of broth and the spinach as your final step. Cook until just shrunken in size then immediately remove from heat.
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.

Sweet Potato Macro Bowl

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
sweet potato macro bowl

This Sweet Potato Macro Bowl is one of my favorite meals to meal prep. It has the perfect balance of carbs, fat, and protein, and is packed with a ton of micronutrients. If you’re not a fan of sweet potato, feel free to sub it for any other starchy carb like purple potatoes, regular white potatoes, extra brown rice, unrefined pasta, etc.

sweet potato macro bowl in meal prep containers

Balanced Macro Bowl

Macro bowls don’t have any strict guidelines, but for the most part equate to a diverse bowl with balanced macros. To make sure your macro bowl is adequately balanced, you’ll need the following macronutrients:

  • Carbs. In this meal, the main carb used is the sweet potato. I also added a small amount of brown rice and 3/4 cup chickpeas which are great sources of complex carbohydrates. If you’re a carb lover like me, check out the book The Starch Solution by Dr. John McDougall to learn how to be healthy and actually lose weight eating a lot of starchy carbs like rice and potatoes. 
  • Fat. The fat in this bowl comes from the tahini based dressing. If you don’t like tahini, swap it for cashew butter – it’s pretty equal in terms of it’s calories and fat content. 1 tbsp of tahini is 89 calories and 8g of fat while 1 tbsp of cashew butter is 94 calories and 8g of fat. I tend to lean towards tahini as cashews are a high FODMAP food and irritate those who suffer from IBS or SIBO. If you do have IBS or SIBO, you can absolutely have cashew butter, just don’t have it in large quantities or eat it every single day. 
  • Protein. The protein in this bowl comes from the chickpeas, sweet potato, tahini based dressing, and brown rice totaling in 17g of protein. Each person is completely different but on average women need around 46g of protein per day and men need 56g of protein per day.

Macro Bowl Measuring Devices

If you are following a recipe or making a macro bowl of your own, you’ll need proper measuring devices. Measuring cups, measuring spoons, and a kitchen scale are MUSTS. I don’t count calories or macros religiously, but macro bowls are all about balanced macronutrients so reliable measuring devices are super helpful. Here are the ones I own:
