Today's lesson

Today's lesson: Always eat as clean as possible! Do your best. 

Started day with lemon water. 

Brunch! Superfood smoothie recipe in the new book. This have been my favorite smoothie for the past few years, perhaps you will like it also: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, water, almond butter, hemp seeds, honeycomb, maca, cacao powder. 

Brushed my teeth with organic toothpaste and baking soda. 

It was a friends birthday party today, Jessie Jean who is an Earth Diet Health Coach! I wanted to hand make her something so made this Cashew Ice Cream Bites with chocolate topping! And then gave her tiger nuts, tiger flour and IAM Mist! She loved her beautiful gift! 

Dinner was the harvest soup made by Jessie Jean. Divine ingredients from the garden! 

Also had this gluten free and dairy free Baked Ziti. 

Enjoyed the garden and the chickens laid an egg! 

Fire for the evening with friends and divine conversations. 

Exercise today was riding my foot scooter. Yes it makes me happy and laugh.

I also had an hour massage which was so relaxing and nourishing.

Also did a 25 minute sauna and hot tub.

Why do you eat?

I have been so busy the past few days with clients and health coaching! A common thing showing up in all the sessions are "You want to affirm before eating or drinking anything - that you are doing it to nourish your body." There is no other reason for eating or drinking, not for sabotaging. And if a client does eat junk food and it's done - here is what I recommend - Before or after eating junk food affirm that your intention is to nourish your body so anything you put into it is to do just that! This will help the digestion process. And then have a lemon water and fresh vegetable juice to get rid of those toxins. 

When we always keep in mind that we are eating for nourishment - it changes all our choices.

Here is what I nourished myself with the past few days!

Tuesday morning started with these 3 power drinks! Phresh greens, green tea and bentonite clay! I drank them 20 minutes apart since I had 1 hour breakfast time before leaving out the door! 

Then I went to NY Hair Co for an organic hair treatment! 

After that I had lunch with George founder of Our True Roots - Tiger Nuts. We went to the one and only Pure Food and Wine! Had a huge salad! 

And of course dessert! 

Next it was time for the New's Emmys at Jazz Center Columbus Circle. 

My Emmys snacks were hemp seeds...

And dinner was kale salad, egg plant and salmon. 

Happy, healthy, grateful! 

I slept in Tuesday morning and had this big carb breakfast whole wheat organic toast from Wholefoods and organic peanut butter! 

With a green jasmine tea! Helps with digestion! 

Afternoon snack was tiger nuts! Great travel companion! 

A later afternoon snack was this green juice and snickers cake from One Lucky Duck! So grateful for this place. I had the green juice first. 

I traveled next with One Lucky Duck mint ice cream made with cashews and a dehydrated cookie! This actually ended up being my dinner. 

Breakfast Wednesday morning was this hearty porridge with vitacost honeycomb. Wanted something warm for this season change! 

Lunch was superfood smoothie! My favorite from new book. 

This photo made my day! Debbie won the Earth Diet Transformation giveaway the signed Anita Moorjani Audio! 

For dinner I picked some parsley, sage and thyme from my friends garden. I love this! 

And made black bean pasta with chopped tomatoes and herbs sauce! 

For dessert I made cashew ice cream bites with chocolate on top! Mmm favorite! 

And this was my breakfast also! I got out of bed with excitement when I remembered I had them in the freezer. 

I had Mac n cheese for lunch - recipe in new book! Dairy free and gluten free and amazing! 

Dinner was smoothie!  And hot tub! Nourishing my body in multiple ways! 

Today Saturday I started the day with lemon water and Phresh Greens.

Lunch was a smoothie! 

Dinner I ordered Indian! Veg curry and rice! I craving warmth and spices! 

I also had a lot of coconut this week for snacks!

I'm really happy with how much nutrition I got this week, and how many meals I handmade. Next week more herbal teas, green juice and would like a beet juice too.

Ideal treatment for a cold!

Today I really treated myself so that I could make sure my immune system stays strong to kick the cold! 

This is a great treatment for a cold and I really recommend it: 

I started the day with salt water and gargled it. Using real salt of course. 

Then I made a bentonite clay drink. 

Then I boiled water with tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil and put my head over the bowl with a towel. My face steamed and instantly felt clearer. 

Then I had some raw chocolate and green tea - antioxidants perfect for boosting the mood and feel good emotions in the body. 

Then for a snack I had this coconut! So good! Antibacterial, antifungal - immune boosting. 

Later I made lunch! A quinoa recipe from the new Earth Diet book! Quinoa and turmeric ingredients thanks to Vitacost! I am really enjoying the new book! 

After lunch I made a bentonite clay mask and also put it in my hair. It felt really good how it was drawing out toxins. 

Dinner was this superfood smoothie mmm so divine recipe in new book! With friends! Happy Monday! 

I provided my body with so much nutrition today yet I also did so much work. I made it work. Eating well helps us to be more productive anyway. 

I also did a 30 minute sauna and walked for 40 minutes. 

Just realized I did not have my greens drink today - so tomorrow that is priority! Well I am going to Pure Food and Wine so will make that happen there!

Try this remedy to heal a cold!

I felt a cold coming on - it is change of season in NY from summer to autumn! It has been an amazing summer for sure! I drank so many smoothies and juices and ate so many fresh salads from gardens!

So to beat this cold, I feel stuffy nose and sore throat coming on, and I want to be clear for the Emmys on Tuesday in NYC... This morning I started with a huge glass of alkaline water. Then I boiled some ginger in water, and added it to a huge pot with tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil and put my head over it with a tea towel. This steamed my face and cleared me up right away! Love these simple yet effective remedies.

Me this morning: 

Then I had a bentonite clay drink! To absorb toxins and heavy metals. 

It still feels like summer! Today was so sunny and hot! I enjoyed this Phresh Greens by the poolside next. 

I are this local fig. 

Lunch was this superfood smoothie - recipe in new book - with the Vitacost Yellow Cake mix I ate yesterday with 3 ingredient chocolate frosting (recipe in book) - cacao powder, maple syrup and coconut oil. This cake was also gluten free! 

Afternoon snack was celery, carrots and cucumber from the garden. I didn't eat the hummus because it includes a preservative that I don't eat. 

Check out this gorgeous squash from the garden! Will make something great with this. 

Dinner was crumbed eggplant and quiche! 

Spent the evening on social media and right now writing this blog haha by the fire and poolside!

Congrats to Penny who lost over 40 pounds with the earth diet!

A day in the kitchen!

Today was mostly spent in the kitchen - and also walking outside in nature! I was so grateful to spend my day like this, and to really take care of myself with nourishing food and drinks! 

I had a great sleep in. And then had a smoothie for brunch! Recipe in the new book. 

Next I felt like baking! And this yellow cake mix - gluten free - by Vitacost was perfect! 

The process of baking can be so relaxing and therapeutic. 

Then I made frosting / icing using 3 ingredients and this recipe is also in the new Earth Diet book: cacao powder, maple syrup and coconut oil. 

How divine does this cake look? This is no filter too! Talk about having our cake and eating it too! 

And I ate a decent piece! Well a friend had a slice also ;) 

I also made Mac n cheese! Also gluten free using brown rice pasta! This recipe is also in the book. 

It is change of season here in NY so to kick a sore throat from coming on I made ginger tea. Gets rid of all bacteria. 

Dinner I made this black bean pasta with tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, garlic and parsley! Felt so healing.
