Current groceries! Seasonal and fresh, always keep healthy food handy

 

A good way to eat seasonal foods is by going to a farmers market for your produce!! One more thing most organic sections of sprouts and wheatsville only carry seasonal local produce. 

Vegan!!

It has been a while since my last post. Let's skip all the rest and go to the fact that I am Vegan now! I am trying it for 30 days to see if I see any changes in my physique, mental capabilities and well-being. This Friday will be my first week of the challenge. I will be able to talk about what has worked and what has not worked. So far I have made garbanzo beans & Quinoa for protein. I have accidentally eaten milk products twice!!! The transition is hard you never know what animal products can sneak their way into your food

Mint chocolate chip smoothie

1/2 a ripe avocado can be supstituted for coconut oil 2 tbs
1/4 a tsp of peppermint oil, add more to taste
1 TBS of vanilla extract
1 hand full of spinach
1 cup of ice or frozen coconut water
1 ripe banana frozen
2 cups of vanilla almond milk

Blend till smoothe

Throw in a handful of dark chocolate chips and mix slowly

Voila! Delicious

Kick the fat salad!

Favorite veggies and fruits with romaine, cilantro and spinach. For dressing use olive oil, lemon, sea salt and pepper! I also used garlic and herb seasoning. Eat this along with nuts for a nutritious lunch

Grocery trip!

Picked up some everyday things. Fruits and veggies! Also sun butter for granola bars my boyfriend and I can enjoy!

Weightloss Tip

1. Drink more green tea! Three cups a day promotes weight-loss, skin health, keeps your skin young, hair growth and helps boost your metabolism. I would try the kind with berries or any other mix so you do not add sugar. Beware of the sugar!! adding it completely defeats the purpose of drinking tea for good health. If you absolutely cannot go without sugar in your tea try pure-via natural sweetener it is zero calories and will sweeten your tea with only one packet. 
2.Alcohol makes you gain weight. If you are having problems with your belly and skin you straight up need to give up alcohol. Beer is known to make you have a huge belly and bloats most peoples organs!! Liquor turns into sugar in your bloodstream!! Lots of people can drink in moderation and that is fine. If you are trying to loose weight I recommend you cut it out all together. Your will be amazed at the amount of energy and liveliness you have once you do (turn this energy into workout time) 

Also if you are trying to go Gluten free (beer has gluten) keep that in mind 

Be safe, stay strong you can do this!!

Nighttime Colon Cleanse

Your favorite detox tea, I use dieters cinnamon 

2 tablespoons of honey

3 strawberries cut 

1/2 a tablespoon of coconut oil 

Some people like to cleanse without food, I on the other hand am hypoglycemic so I cannot go a whole day without eating. I drink these along with eating salads and just fruits and veggies all day. Nothing processed, no meat, no sugar and absolutely  no dairy. Try this for Saturday and Sunday! Do not try this mid-week you will be going to the bathroom a lot since your cleaning out your system. Enjoy and make sure to credit me! I created this cleanse on my own.
