Mixed Fruit Bowl with Cacao Nibs

by

This is the perfect treat on a hot summer day! Cacao nibs are bitter on their own, but the perfect combination with something sweet! Cacao is the raw version of cocoa, and is known as a superfood that can help alleviate stress, improve heart function, and help reduce cataracts. It’s also known to help alleviate depression. After all, who doesn’t feel better with chocolate?!

Sweet Veggie Juice

by

This is how we get our multi-vitamins! This is my son’s favorite juice. It’s loaded with Vitamins A, B, C, D, K, beta-carotene,  folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, molybdenum, manganese, copper, and zinc. This juice is loaded with anti-oxidants, helps purify the blood, reduces blood pressure, supports and cleanses the liver, it’s beneficial in treating gout, it’s anti-inflammatory, and helps prevent cancer because it fills your cells with delicious nutrients!

Bonus tip: If your urine turns pink after drinking beet juice, it’s a sign of low stomach acid. Stomach acid is beneficial in breaking down nutrients, especially protein!

Poached egg with avo and fermented veggies

by

This is my super simple breakfast of champions!  Fermented vegetables are naturally full of good bacteria (probiotics) which helps keep your immune system remain strong and balanced. The combination of the warm poached egg on a bed of cold sauerkraut and avocado tastes so good, and gives me a great sense of balance and energy in the morning. I think you might like it too!
