Whole 30 Tip // Pitting Cherries


Just use a straw! Mind blown!

Sharing health everyday

This morning I had a big green juice with greens from the garden including kale, collard greens and mint. And then I added green apple, celery, ginger and lemon to make a Green Lemonade. So high in nutrients it's impossible to feel bad after drinking this. 

For lunch I had a Pistachio Avocado Oil Raw Chocolate Bar made by Raw Chocolate Man. I love the IAM affirmations on the bar. I had this with a green tea. 

For dinner I had sushi, not the cleanest choice, or lightest choice, but certainly fulfilling for me during this time in my life yum yum I enjoyed the variety of flavors, including sesame seaweed salad, avocado rolls with sesame seeds and salmon teriyaki. Also had a green tea. Green tea helps to digest heavier food. 

For dessert I had a big bowl of cherries yum yum so lush and so organic. Great tv snacks! 

Loved this quote today 

Had some meetings today regarding The Earth Diet business operations, and a team call for the fundraiser we are doing to donate books to people in a health crisis. Very passionate about this www.crowdrise.com/shareHealthWithTheWorld 

Also very excited to receive an email today from Doreen Virtue and Food Babe (Vani Hari) - two extraordinary women who also share health everyday! Can't wait to share more with you about these projects! 

Had an hour massage today and happy I invested in that. What a difference it makes to our body. I hope you can also get one each month too - you are worth it ;) !

Whole 30 Recipe // Amazon Antipasto Cups



I came up with these Amazon Antipasto cups a few months ago and I make them ALL the time- they are easy, fresh and delicious! Buy sugar free salami (trader joes has them and I get mine at Maceys too). I buy the large size and press each piece into the form of a cupcake pan- bake just the salami for 10 min at 400°- while it's baking chop up cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, black olives & fresh basil- mix together and scoop into baked salami. Enjoy!

Organic burger hunt on Long Island

Started the day with a glass of water and a chocolate almond butter cup. These chocolate cups are like a full meal because they are so fulfilling and also high in protein and antioxidants. 


Then I searched for some places on Long Island that make organic burgers. I found one called "The Burger Spot" in Garden City. They use organic free range meat, and also an upgrade to their cheese and bread by making sure it's more natural. Unfortunately they use Heinz ketchup that has corn syrup so I brought my own organic ketchup (new recipe in my book!).  I had sweet potato fries and also regular fries to go with it. I also had a green tea which helps with the digestion. And since green tea is high in antioxidants it helps to energize the body while we digest heavy foods like this. 


Then I had some organic gummi bears. Obviously these aren't the cleanest and a major upgrade would be if I had some straight up fruit. But I love the consistency and didn't have time to make my own natural candy, so this is what I chose. 

And then went for a walk around the neighborhood. And then stretched and did grounding in front of a fire pit in the evening. 

Then I wrote an action packed weekly email to the subscribers of Earth Diet website. I included a gift for everyone from the new book! :) You can subscribe on the website if your not already. 

For dinner I had a huge bowl of cherries to balance out the burger meal today, and to aid with digestion. 

And then later some green tea and raw chocolate to complete the evening. 

Good night, much love

Today

My day was this,

Started with an hour of grounding. 

And then Breakfast was a bowl of organic cherries (oh so lush and amazing and wow) with a raw chocolate almond butter cup. 

Then picked this from the garden! Kale, cucumber, chives, rose petals, lavender, zucchinis. Wow my food today. Knowing this is all going into my body feels so good. 
I mean I could not believe the zucchini that came from the garden, it was huge! Lots of great rain along with compost soil, sunshine and organic seeds ;) 
I put out this platter of goji berries, raw coconut chocolate (made by Raw Chocolate Man), brazil Nuts, Nibmor chocolate, trail mix, raw chocolate almond butter cups. For a pool party. 
Made this beautiful Garden Salad with the ingredients for the garden! The rose petals and the lavender add a very interesting element to the salad, extremely energizing. The kale is so nutrient rich. The cucumber so fresh, cucumbers one of my favorite things from the garden, and chives mmm so fresh, with a dressing of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, real salt and pepper.

Had a 3 ingredient Margarita: tequila, fresh lime juice and agave. And some water and ice. 
Made my favorite Cashew Cheesecake! Recipe in my new book available on amazon! 
We enjoyed some fresh aloe on our skins! Natural sunscreen and skin soother. 
Finished by the pool with a fire. A great conversation with friends and another margarita! 
Good night from Long Island, New York!
