Green Tea Summer Morning Smoothie 

Our newest morning favorite is a green tea smoothie we like to call the green tea summer morning smoothie. It’s easy to make and only has 5 ingredients
To 24oz of unsweetened, cold almond milk, add:

Blend on high for 30 seconds. Enjoy!

Optionally, add a couple of ice cubes before or after blending. We’ve found that we like both options to make it colder or the no ice option with cold almond milk, either way it’s awesomely refreshing and boosts focus!

Daniel and Luci’s Tasty Summer Hydration Drink

Ready for the summer? Today, we got surprised by a hot sunny day in Santee, CA. Not that it’s strange for us to have beautiful sunny weather here in San Diego, but it’s been cold and rainy the last few weeks. So was today just a fluke or what marks the first day of our summer?

What you don’t want on a day like this though is to get dehydrated! Drinking plenty of water is definitely a good thing, especially if you’re a coffee drinker. But not everyone likes just “plain” water so here’s our recipe for a tasty summer drink that will definitely keep you hydrated.

In 1 gallon of filtered water add:

  • 1 medium orange, cut in 1/4 inch slices
  • 1/2 cucumber, cut in 1/4 inch slices
  • 10 mint leaves (fresh is better but dried will do too
  • Add ice if you want it cold

Gently mix it all up and enjoy!

Cucumber, why?
Cucumbers help your body to retain water. Remember how we mentioned coffee drinkers? Caffeine actually does the opposite, it helps your body get rid of water. Cucumbers are also alkaline which means that it helps your body regulate it’s pH, neutralizing the acidity from other foods, especially processed foods, and gives you a better chance of warding off infection.

Orange, why?
Citrus in general help cleanse your intestines and even promote fat burning and weight loss. But perhaps what makes it so good in our drink is that it helps reduce stress, refreshing and revitalizing along the way.

Mint, why?
There are all sorts of things that mint is good for and along with the orange and cucumber, it’s actually pretty tasty too! Mint also refreshes is known to take headache away, by smelling it or massaging some of the essential oil on your temples. Imagine what it can do to your dehydration headache if you drink it!

Where do we get our ingredients? Our favorite place for these ingredients is Growers Direct. They’re a small, farmers-market-like shop on University Avenue, on the border between San Diego and La Mesa.  All their produce is locally and organically grown/sourced and way cheaper than Sprouts or Whole Foods. More information can be found HERE.

The REAL reason why you’re hungry all the time

When you woke up this morning, how did you feel? Did you feel alive, full of energy and ready to take on your day with gusto?

Or did you feel lackadaisical, low energy and dissatisfied with your life?

Ever find yourself saying, “I just wish I had more time do get everything done!”

But you can’t add more time. What you CAN do is add more aliveness to your moments. If you access and use the right tools, resources, wisdom and food. And it’s way easier than you think it is!

When you focus on true nourishment, you shift the paradigm of what actually feeds you. And I’m not just talking about food you put in your mouth – I’m talking about ALL the things that nourish you – thoughts, feelings, impressions, belief systems, relationships – they’re all interwoven. And if you feel lack, limitation, or feelings of being “hungry” in your life… it’s because you’re not giving yourself what you need.

I’ve made it my life’s work to teach people just like you how to compassionately nourish themselves. That’s why I wrote my new Hay House book Eaternity – a lifestyle guide AND cookbook – which launched today in the U.S., Canada and United Kingdom.

From food to fitness, meditation to spirituality, I cover a lot in the book. It’s a powerful resource for you to start feeling more alive, more connected, more present and more vibrant. Here’s what you’ll find inside:

  • 154 easy vegan recipes (gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free and low glycemic)
  • 14 benefit chapters to improve sex, sleep, energy, weight loss and more
  • Latest scientific research supporting the benefits of plant-based eating
  • Fitness strategies and mindfulness techniques to feel better
  • Pantry lists, product recommendations and functional food choices

When you order the book online, you’ll get three exclusive tutorial videos and a bonus ebook PLUS you can enter my $3,000 healthy kitchen reboot giveaway:

Get your copy of Eaternity and start nourishing yourself on every level

As you change your life, you change the world. This is not a cliche at all. That’s the kind of power you have inside you… you just need to access it, let it out and then watch the goodness show up in your life.

You deserve to be healthy, satisfied, joyful and alive… every day. So start now. There’s never been a better time.
