    Vegan 'Holiday White Peppermint Smoothie'. Creamy and frosty-like with hints of peppermint flavor, this healthy breakfast smoothie is full of healthy fats and protein to keep you going this holiday season! #vegan #holiday #peppermint #smoothie

    When you feel like soaking up every last drop of December by adding some holiday cheer to your breakfast smoothie!

    That’s where I’m at right now… trying to take in what’s left of December and wishing it would linger a little longer. Which is why I’m very into this vegan Holiday White Peppermint Smoothie!

    Between moving, getting settled into the new house, the renovations we’re doing, work stuff and getting everything done in time for Christmas, I feel like I haven’t done anything holiday-ish this season at all because it’s the busiest we’ve ever been… which makes me so sad! We finally got a tree on Sunday that I finished decorating on Tuesday… SO late to the game. At least we got one (our first tree together!) and can enjoy it for a little while, but we didn’t do lights outside or anything so I’m feeling totally disconnected from Christmas this year.

    I’ve been hustling to get my Vegan Hormone Healing eBook ready to be released in time for the new year so that’s been taking up my work days which is why there hasn’t been much happening this month here on the blog. I’m a one-woman show but trying my best!! Plus, it’s totally worth the wait because this eBook is super special and unique – unlike anything I’ve ever done. I couldn’t be more proud of how it’s turning out and am eager to share with you so thanks for being patient with me!

    Creamy and similar to a frosty but with hints of peppermint, it’s perfect for these last few mornings before Christmas Day! Filled with healthy fats, plant protein and veggies, it will keep your blood sugar stable so you can power through the end of this hectic week!

      Hi! I was wondering what I could substitute the protein powder for? Not a huge fun of the stuff. Thank you!

        Hi Alicia,

        No worries, you could sub a couple tablespoons hemp seeds, or just leave it out altogether. Hope this helps!

        Hi Inga! Frozen cauliflower is not necessary, but it’s a great way to add in extra veggies as it’s virtually tasteless in this recipe! Plus, it helps to make it cold and creamy. Hope this helps!

      I had never think combination of pepper mint with smoothie. It is so yummy to see. I tried it in my home last Sunday. My kids loved it and they are asking for many more. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

    I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and ca I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and can’t stop staring at it! 🤩 here is what the inside pages look like. there is also a weekly reflection page that you’ll fill out after each week! you’ll be tracking month and day, cycle day, moon phase, cervical mucus, bleeding or spotting, symptoms, ovulation, pain/cysts and basal body temperature, digestion, overall mood, stress level, libido, sleep quality, supplements, nourishing foods, cravings, movement and lastly workflow or motivation! tracking these things will help you notice patterns. like for instance after ovulation, my mood is super low for a couple days due to the shift in hormones. so I can plan accordingly and know what’s coming! 

what about this tracker makes you excited?! I want to hear your thoughts!! you can preorder The Happy Hormone Tracker on amazon or wherever books are sold! Release date is October 20th 🩸

my latest crunchy craving! it comes together in 5 minutes and is sugar free. I know it’s super simple but I still think it deserves to live on the blog! I love snacking on it, serving it on crackers or using as a side/appetizer. so much refreshing crunch and salty, vinegar-y taste 🥒🥒🥒 new on the blog >> theglowingfridge.com // link in bio // #plantpowered
    now that I’m studying to become a integrative he now that I’m studying to become a integrative health practitioner, I’ve realized to a greater extent how one way of eating may not be perfect for everyone. how being strictly #plantbased isn’t a top priority for everyone. how different we really are. I’ve recently come to accept this, even though I will promote plant based until the day I die. my feelings have evolved over time. I used to be more pushy and believe my way of eating was the only way! but the reality is, there is no one diet and it’s infuriating when doctors push one diet only! its what works for YOUR body and it can change over time (depending on many factors). while this may upset some people, this will be apart of my job. as a practitioner I will have to meet people where they are at and guide them with an open mind. I can’t assume or expect that everyone will want to be plant based tomorrow! while I can always promote “the more plant foods the better” type of mentality (and I promise you, I will!) there is something called bio-individuality, meaning “there is not a one-size-fits-all diet, each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements”. what I will also promote is intuitive eating and really tuning into what your body wants and needs, and allowing that intuition to sharpen and grow (and hopefully it leads to more plants 🌱😬). doing this takes so much practice… to trust what your body is telling you is hard and confusing in the beginning. I think the change for me was allowing what I wanted to eat at first and it slowly evolved to wanting to choose healthier options because I felt better that way, but also knowing when I need vegan mac and cheese or french fries or ice cream and not making a big deal out of it. and not labeling any food as “bad” but rather just “food”. this didn’t happen overnight though! tell me below - how have you become more intuitive with eating habits? how do you tune in? photo by @sarahiltonphotography & I put a little filter on it 💗 #intuitiveeating
    DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total c DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total crap, it’s essential to open up your drainage pathways first. although not glamorous to talk about, this is the most important step for any health protocol. setting the foundation… just like building a house. there are no quick fixes in detoxing! for example: you don’t want to jump into a parasite cleanse but have your detox pathways blocked… this includes making sure you are peeing, pooping, sweating and moving your lymph every single day. and when I say pooping, I mean 1-3 times per day. ideally 2-3 or after large meals. if you are constipated while killing off parasites, you are not going to feel good at all because they need to be eliminated quickly and if not, the pathogens/toxins they release can get re-circulated in the body. take it from me because I didn’t know about any of this while doing a parasite cleanse… I was bed ridden, had fevers, my face broke out, I was puffy and bloated. this was not fun at all! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
>> So how do you open up your drainage pathways (and keep them open)? ⁣⠀
• proper hydration, ideally with mineral drops⁣⠀
• daily movement to break a sweat (I love using my @higherdose sauna blanket in addition to movement)⁣⠀
• balanced whole food diet: lots of veggies and fruit, fiber from real food, nothing processed, no refined sugar⁣⠀
• bowel moving herbs if you are consipated (bowel mover from Microbe Formulas), coffee enemas, tudca (to keep bile moving, liver support) and include a binder if you use any of these (I like bioactive carbon binders from Microbe Formulas)⁣⠀
- clean products: beauty, skincare, cleaning, etc⁣⠀
- air quality: open the windows, get a @airdoctorpro air filter, plants⁣⠀
- proper sleep: 7-8 hours⁣⠀
- healthy mind: mediation, yoga, breath work⠀
⠀
I hope you find this helpful! Let me know if you have questions below! #detoxprotocol #drainagepathways
