Back to school… teach your kids to consume a rai

Back to school… teach your kids to consume a rainbow of fruits and vegetables everyday. I know grown adults who would not even touch this lunch with a ten foot pole b/c they hate veggies. It starts young folks! You don’t introduce or feed your kids an array of fruits and veggies… they will grow to be adults who don’t like them. #livehealthy #kidsfood

Stress Management… What’s in your tool box? Wh

Stress Management… What’s in your tool box? When we have chronic stress and we ignore it, ultimately it leads to us breaking down. That can manifest as emotional outbursts, illness, fatigue, anxiety, depression… the list goes on. What can you pull out of your tool box each day, even for 5 minutes, to dedicate to your mental health? I know for me, it’s being outside in nature, getting a good dose of vitamin D. Stress creates a release of cortisol in the body and inhibits the absorption of vitamin D. Not only does cortisol increase weight gain but the deficiency of D caused by the cortisol, increases your chances for illness, depression, fatigue, inflammation, etc. It’s no wonder we get sick, when we are stressed. AND…. Most of us are vitamin D, deficient. With all of that said… one of the tools in my tool box for stress, is to get outside and soak up my D 🌞

I’ve been told I make good salads… one of my key secrets, is homemade dressing. I don’t think I’ve purchased salad dressing in over 25 years 😳😁 Have you EVER looked at the ingredients of your salad dressing????
This dressing is a staple and I make it fresh with each salad, which is every night in my house. The trick is, to make the dressing in the bowl and add your ingredients, with the exception of your lettuce. Don’t toss the salad, until you’re ready to eat it. Allow the hearty ingredients to sit in the bowl, mixed into the dressing, then put the lettuce and herbs on top. Once you are ready to eat, toss it all together. This method allows for the ingredients of the dressing to marinate with the hearty veggies at the bottom of the bowl.
Recipe for this simple dressing…
Splash of olive oil
1/2 lemon
Sprinkle of salt & pepper
1 clove of crushed garlic

Starting the day with a green smoothie after a day

Starting the day with a green smoothie after a day of sugary treats, does a body good:-)
I like this recipe as it's both flavorful, full of greens and not too sweet. I am a HUGE fan of Moonjuice products (moonjuice.com). I've searched high and low for a vegan protein without all the added ingredients, that of which we don't know what they are or where they came from. This protein is simple, with only 7 ingredients and is rice based.
Recipe:
1 c nut milk, water or coconut water
1 scoop Blue Beauty Moonjuice protein
1 c frozen pineapple
1 handful of spinach
2 stalks of celery
1 handful of cilantro (or parsley)
1 tsp MCT oil
Splash of lime juice
Sprinkle of ground flax seeds

Blend and enjoy! One note to remember, try to stick with one fruit to your smoothies and allow the majority of the ingredients to be greens.

One of my all time, quick and favorite recipes for non-dairy milk!
Hemp milk is loaded with 10g of protein per serving. Abundant in manganese’s, magnesium, thiamin and phosphorus. A good addition to smoothies, cereal, or on its own!
1 cup of water, 1/4 cup hemp seeds, pinch of salt. Blend until creamy. Pour into a glass through a strainer and drink! If you don’t mind the texture drink the hemp seeds too 😁

Just so y'all know... I've been gone for quite sometime, from this page. I am NOW back and I hope to have some postings each week for ya! Love any feedback and or requests.

Overnight Oats! I'm a huge fan of this breakfast, lunch, snack option!
It's loaded with manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Potentially, helping to lower cholesterol and reduce constipation via the soluble fiber component, helps reduce the effects of heart disease, aids in weight loss, boosts the immune system and helps with healthy gut bacteria. This nutrient dense meal packs a powerful punch.
I like to use the Ball* jars with a twist lid. You can really add whatever you fancy as ingredients, catering to your taste buds. Here is a recipe I made up and I love it, as well as my kids.
Fill the Ball jar to about 3/4c
Add 1 tsp chia seeds (for added omegas and protein)
A sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, cardamom and salt.
Close the Ball jar and shake the dry ingredients, so they are well blended.
Add a dairy free or not choice of milk. I like coconut or almond. Add the liquid so it fills to the top of the Ball jar.
Place lid on and put in fridge overnight.
In the morning, you have a great "grab and go" breakfast or a nutrient dense meal to snack on all day.
You can add berries or nuts before consuming, if you want to add more antioxidants or protein.

Kale is in the top five “nutritious foods” a person can consume! So many ways to make this glorious green! As of late, I’ve been making this as a salad with a tahini, ginger dressing.... so rich, nutty and satisfies multiple taste buds 👍🏽. In a bowl mix about 1/4c EVO, 1/2 lemon, 2tbsp tahini, 1 clove pressed garlic, 1” knob of ginger, sprinkle of salt and pepper, sprinkle of maple syrup (optional). Mix at the bottom of the salad bowl real good! Chiffonade the kale and place over dressing. Then, place your hands in the bowl and “massage” kale... the French style of cutting the kale, as well as the massaging, will break down the cellulose and make it easier to digest. After a minute or so of this massaging, rinse hands and add a sprinkling of sunflower seeds. It is so delicious! Let me know what you think!
