    The Beautifier Smoothie

    Jul 30, 2016 • Menstrual Phase, Smoothies and Juices

    VEGAN. The 'Beautifer Smoothie' rich with antioxidants, healthy omega's and nutrient-dense kale. Get coupon code for 3 free smoothies with your first order! Choose from 14 flavors.

    Today’s post on the ‘Beautifier Smoothie’ is SO fun AND I have a coupon code at the end for 3 free smoothies that you don’t want to miss!

    But first… something happened to me this past weekend that hasn’t happened in over 2 years…

    I got sick…

    Pretty amazing how the 2-year timeline just so correlates with when I decided to go vegan overnight… coincidence much?! Maybe… but I’d like to credit all those glowing fruits, veggies and superfoods that kept up my immunity, because I used to get sick a few times a year! Feeling achey and feverish on Sunday night, I knew I was coming down with something nasty. After driving home from the lake house Monday morning, it totally hit me… I was in bed ALL day. Whatever this sickness is took me OUT. Sorta felt like the flu with fever, chills, pounding headache, sore throat and a gnarly cough.

    Come Tuesday I was still feeling miserable but had to get work done, so I forced myself out of bed and started feeding my body healing vitamin-rich plant foods. I hate medicine and antibiotics – but that’s a story for another day. By Wednesday I was feeling a million times better! Proper nourishment and extra hydration is KEY when you’re feeling sick and definitely speeds up the healing process. 

    So what did I eat to feel better??!

    First let’s talk about what I drank. Lots and lots of lemon water, turmeric glow lemonade and fresh fruit smoothies. 

    Throughout the day I blended 2 ready-made smoothies from Daily Harvest. Anything cold and icy to cool down my fever (I even stuck my head in the freezer a few times to cool off… LOL). Smoothies were the only thing that sounded appetizing, plus their packaging caught my eye right away. I’m a sucker for anything instagram worthy so when a brand’s packaging is on point I gravitate immediately… #sucker

    I love how they ship the frozen pre-made smoothies to your door so you don’t have to prep anything when you’re feeling super lazy, are in a rush, or in my case, are feeling icky sicky. Just add any liquid base you want, blend until smooth, then pour in the same cup the ingredients came in.

    Could it be any easier?!

    I knew you guys would love Daily Harvest because:

    • they use organic fruits, greens, veggies and unrefined superfoods
    • produce is picked at peak maturity; then farm frozen to preserve nutritional density 
    • 14 smoothie flavors to choose from; all developed by a nutritionist
    • whole food ingredients come pre-portioned in reusable cups

    VEGAN. The 'Beautifer Smoothie' rich with antioxidants, healthy omega's and nutrient-dense kale. Get coupon code for 3 free smoothies with your first order! Choose from 14 flavors.

    I first chose the (very appropriate) ‘immunity’ flavor and turned it into a smoothie bowl by adding extra frozen banana, a little almond milk (and turmeric for a boost). The ingredients pack in tons of Vitamin C, including Camu Camu berry, which has 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange and is the highest documented source of Vitamin C. They call it natures prescription. Tropical tasting and mildly sweet! I topped this ‘immunity bowl’ with half of a passion fruit, fresh blueberries, hemp seeds and organic coconut chia granola.

    Later in the day, I was feeling the ‘Beautifier’ flavor with glow-inducing aca? berries, antioxidant rich blueberries, nutrient-dense kale and more. They call it the Berry Explosion, I think it tastes like an aca? bowl mixed with blueberry ice cream. The aca? is a natural energy booster and packs a punch of Vitamin C, heart healthy omega’s, fiber and antioxidants. It’s similar to my usual everyday smoothie with berries, bananas and greens, so I knew right away this would be one of my faves.

    Don’t they all look amazing?! Check out their other flavors too.

    Aside from the smoothies, I mostly lived on fresh watermelon, my homemade pretty pink popsicles, rice and beans with avocado and crackers. Weird combinations… but simple and easy is the way to go when you’re sick.

    If you want to try Daily Harvest (which you definitely should to save time and take the thinking/mess out of smoothie prep) then use my code below!

    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!

    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⠀
⠀
