Uncook Me!

They were not kidding when they said breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Start your day off right and everything else will fall into place! Of course before we even think about food we might want to consider thinking of all that we are grateful for! Then move to hydrating our bodies with the best water we have access to. Once that is done we can move onto breakfast! Yummy! My breakfast typically consists of making some sort of delicious, nutrient packed smoothie overflowing with super greens and super foods!

I tend to rotate between “Green” smoothies and “Superfood” smoothies. My superfood smoothie is one of my staples. It’s packed with well-balanced nutrients, antioxidants, energy and is perfect for pre and/or post workouts. I normally have this first if I need a boost of energy or have a lot on my plate that day. But it’s a lot of nutrition so if I’m doing yoga early in the morning or have a super hard workout I wait and have most of it after my workout as a recovery shake!

• I like to mix any and all of the following in my Superfood Smoothies: Fresh thai coconut water and coconut meat; homemade hemp milk, almond milk or pumpkin milk; revitaphi; maca; blue-green algae; cordyceps; cacao nibs and cacao powder; bee pollen; camu camu; frozen berries (raspberries, bluberries, cherries, etc), vanilla powder, mesquite, oh the list just goes on  and on.
• I will have some future posts with my top Superfood Smoothie Recipes as they change all the time with my bodies current needs and my exercise routine! Remember to ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!  It will tell you want it needs if we just slow down and listen

• I have three “green” smoothie recipes that I use regularly as well. I like to drink these throughout the day and even when I get home late at night for a quick and delicious snack.
• The below recipes are best with 2 cups of fresh spring water (raw if you have access to it) or fresh coconut water if you like them a little sweeter! Again lots more “Green Smoothie” recipes to come! Because we all know I love my Greens!!

1. Swiss chard, mint and pear
2. Spinach and peaches
3. Strawberries, romaine and banana.

Cheers and have the most glorious day ever!!

It seems to me that everything big and wonderful starts out small. A tiny idea, a passing thought, an unintentional comment or those quick yet powerful glances. All these things despite being ever so slight end up having the strongest influence over our lives. Well, I am small; all 5 feet 1 and 3/4 inches of me and I want to be big and wonderful. I want one of my unintentional comments to change someones world; to have them try something new, say something different, feel something better or experience something unreal! It will make it all worth it.

I gave my notice at my hedge fund on Wednesday, February 25th.CHECK. A week later the head of HR made a comment to me that solidified everything I’m about to embark on. He said, “If you do what you love, you’ll never have to work another day in your life…” And to think I had to burn through 28 years before I figured that one out. However, I did and it is awesome! I’ve decided to inspire, help, love, heal, laugh, learn, give and renew full time. My future as a lifestyle consultant begins now. CHECK. News of my new career has been spreading and the feedback and support I am receiving is unbelievable! I am reassured almost daily of my decision and it’s the most perfect feeling on earth. I am so very grateful. CHECK.

So all in these three little checks might seem small but they are preparing from something big and wonderful. So jump in, grab hold and get ready to experience life on a whole new level!
