Day of eating before NYC speaking event

Started the day with a blueberry smoothie. Women's Health on Instagram declared it a blueberry smoothie week - so be it! This one has blueberries, water, hazelnut butter, cacao powder and maca powder. 

3 beautiful squash from the garden! The fruits of my labor! :) rewarding! 

Had home fries for lunch with real salt and pepper. Some people are afraid of potatoes, remember they are grounding, high in vitamin c and perfect for a healthy lifestyle on a budget. 

An hour after potatoes I had this refreshing green juice! 

Second smoothie of the day! 

Picked these herbs from the garden for dinner! Basil, parsley, cilantro and thyme! That's some kale there too! 

Made vegan Mac n cheese! Made with 4 ingredients: brown rice pasta, nutritional yeast, salt and water! Gluten free too! Amazing!

Had IAM Sleepy energy shot! 

Such a full on day getting prepared for the Seed Experience! Here is a sneak peak to the free gift the attendees are getting! ;)

How to eat carbs in a healthy way

This is my food log from yesterday. I was craving carbs so here is how I fulfilled that in a healthy way: 

For breakfast I had some oats with brown rice syrup. Oats can be grounding and calming. 

For lunch I had some potato cubes cooked in coconut oil with organic ketchup (recipe in new book).

For an afternoon snack I made my favorite superfood smoothie - recipe in new book.

For dinner I had a green juice, green tea plus mashed potato. Mashed with coconut oil, real salt and pepper. The green juice and green tea helps to digest all the carbs from the day as they are both high in antioxidants. The green juice also adds the raw element for the day which is how we can make eating carbs possible. 

Getting ready to speak at the Seed Experience tomorrow in NYC!

Grounding foods

Today was full on as is everyday it seems leading up to this book launch! I worked on the new website that we are launching, as well as preparing for the Seed Experience event I am speaking at this Saturday in NYC, as well as spreading the word about the Detox Summit and Cancer Summit I am speaking at. It's full on time for everyone on earth to be our healthiest selves mode! 

Here is what I nourished my body with today: 

Breakfast Superfood Smoothie! Loaded! Recipe in new book. 

Lunch: Watermelon! 

Made hazelnut butter! This is an amazing simple recipe, just add 2 cups of nuts to an S Blade food processor and after 15-25 mins it will release oils and eventually turn to butter like this! New recipe in the book! 

Afternoon tea: green tea! 

Did my hour of grounding/intuitive exercise workout! 

Made these lovely golden fries! Organic potatoes in coconut oil - super grounding. 

Then had a complete feast: chunky fries, purple onions, bean burgers and huge green salad with greens from the garden, kale, cucumber and mint! With a sesame seed oil dressing, apple cider vinegar and agave. So yum and grounding.

Such a delicious day!

I started the day with oil pulling using sesame seed oil. Then I went for a walk to the post office to send me Aunty and Mum a gift. It was my Auntys birthday, and my Mum is working on healing her depression. So I put together these care packages for them:

For my Aunty. 

For my mum. 

Then I had a huge glass of alkaline water with some fresh lime squeeZed into it. 

Then for lunch I made this super loaded smoothie with my favorite ingredients: cherries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, maca, raw chocolate and water! It's so so so fulfilling. 

Then I had quite a few Skype calls with the new Earth Diet Health Coaches! Excited to announce them soon! 

I took my friends dog for a long walk. And then I did 45 minutes of stretching outside in the garden. 

Then I picked my dinner! Got here kale, chives and basil! Wow so vibrant. 

Then a friend stir fried this with other vegetables from the garden; zucchini, tomatoes with carrots and garlic. Yum then we added brown rice pasta. What a feast. 

I had seconds! So good. I love how this pasta is gluten free as its made with brown rice! Incredible invention! 

For dessert I had this amazing ice cream pop! Made with cashews and infused with lavender from the garden! Incredibly healing! The cashew ice cream is a recipe in my new book, and the lavender is one of the many variations to make any flavored ice cream you want! 

Worked some more hours like a busy bee, and then this midnight snack happened:

Got this amazing thank you card from Southold School children today! So sweet! I appreciate the love and acknowledgement it keeps me going!

Light food today

I had a very relaxing Sunday with a lot of rest and light foods.

Started with my favorite superfood smoothie with ingredients: cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, hemp seeds, water, maca and cacao powder.

Then I had another smoothie exactly the same some hours later. We crave what we crave! But this smoothie I added some Raw Almond Chocolate (available for purchase on Earth Diet website) to make it thicker and have more protein. 

Then for dinner I had a bowl of watermelon and spearmint. 

A light and refreshing day today. You can see that yesterday I consumed a lot of calories, so today my body is balancing itself out.

Festival Food

Today I went to Hemp Heals Music Festival in Philadelphia! Hemp as in hemp products like hemp seeds which are in some of my recipes. I love hemp seeds because they are so light, and so high in omegas therefore super nourishing for the brain, and also very high in protein. When you are craving fried foods like burgers and fries etc you could eat 1/4 cup hemp seeds and then feel the nourishment go straight to your brain. 

I started the day with hydrating with lots of water, and watermelon! 

Then some friends picked me up, including Carissa the co-founder of Love Grace Juice! So we went to their juice factory and office, check out what was in their office! This amazing photo of nature, and haha it looks like I was actually there. 

In the same factory building is this new vegan ice cream company called Alchemist Creamery! Wow you know ice cream lovers.... This is worth trying! These push pops were mind blowing! 

On the way from NYC to Philadelphia we had much nourishment from these superfood snacks ... 

This is the Chocolate Smoothie from Love Grace...

The Purify juice. 

The longevity tonic! This is so refreshing! 

We had some natural energy shots by IAM Creations. 

This is watermelon, lemon, ginger and hibiscus. 

This ginger bomb is super charging intense! Amazing! Ginger, orange, lemon, oil of oregano. 

Had plenty of hemp seeds! Thank you Manitoba hemp harvest! 

I tried a hemp dog on a hemp bun! Yum. 

Left the festival for some vegan food, had some sweet potato fries. 

On the drive home I also had some raw chocolate!

My half day detox

For half the day today I did a detox. Anyone can do this who wants to do a quick cleanse inside a busy schedule. Helps us to maintain health. 

I used a dry brush. 

I started the day with a big glass of water. You could also do oil pulling first thing to draw toxins out.

Then I had a green juice. With celery and kale from the garden. Super nutrient rich - medicine. Then I had a hot tub to stimulate lymphatic system and get it moving. Then I went in the sauna for 20 minutes.

Feeling itchy during a detox is normal - it is getting out toxins. Experiencing anger is also normal. I was feeling some intense emotions so I tried 2 tools, firstly I wrote out my "vortex" on paper, everything I love and that makes me feel good. This made my mood better. Then I still felt some pain emotions so I went within and just accepted them and fully felt them in an attempt to feel better. 

Later I had a bentonite clay drink, and a diatomaceous earth drink. 

This was my detox. In half a day. Anyone can do it anytime.

Remember the detox summit is about to start, and it's free to listen to 30 experts on detoxification! I am a bonus speaker and you can download my audio as soon as you sign up, and then enter to win an Earth Diet detox pack: http://bit.ly/1tvcK1P

Later in the day I cooked up some zucchini from the garden with red onion.

Then had some green tea and raw chocolate.

Then had watermelon for dinner.

I gathered packages to send to my mum who is healing her depression.

And my Aunty gets this for her birthday! Inside of the packages are IAM Mist Spray and Raw chocolate. 

Today was the day I got an email every single minute since the morning, and it's still going now, with people requesting the Earth Diet book through the angel program to give books to people in a health crisis or who cannot afford the book. 

88 days to book launch! Happy August 1st! 

My Himalayan salt lamp is on now as I write this.
