If you really want to maximize your daily dose of plant foods, a green juice is a great way to make sure you are ingesting loads of nutrition. What’s in our green juice? It changes. It’s good to mix it up, switch this ingredient for that and diversify your liquid nutrition through the week. Here we share a combo we really like and give some insight into the art and balance of it all.
This elixir really packs a punch, in flavor and nutritional benefits. We prepare this drink whenever we feel a cold or flu coming on. It’s anti microbial, anti inflammatory, rich with antioxidants and vitamins and balanced with some healthy fat. It’s sweet and spicy, a little tangy and bitter too. Here we are using powdered turmeric because we get it from our dad’s farm! But the fresh stuff, if you don’t mind the mess, is great too.
They really are the best. Bowls are a great way to ensure you are getting a balanced meal in each day. The art of the bowl, like everything else we share, is creating something pleasing to the eye and tastebuds, balancing textures and flavors and most of all nourishing the body. Here we share a few favorite bowls.
