PURIFICATION
plant based morning routine!
This is the TIPPING POINT of your day with the choices you make with your foods! Your digestive energy is at it’s peak between 7-11am so you want to make the most of this, meaning putting in foods that are easy to break down, that will help you flush the toxins that were processed as you slept the night before and continue to create energetic momentum in and around your cells!
Morning Elixirs
#1: Your FIRST morning elixir needs to be water LIKE FOR REAL just please do this! Drink at least 16-20 oz of clean water (or water with lemon) but after that you have an opportunity to incorporate another powerhouse drink into your body and cells even before you have breakfast. Here' are you top options for morning elixirs, and look for more recipes in your recipe site!
#2: Celery Juice: highly recommended as this recipe came straight from Medical Medium Anthony William. Celery juice is an accelerator of health, it cleanses and purges the liver, it’s create to clear skin as you skin backs up the liver, and it perfectly matches your hydrochloric acid made by your body SO as it helps you to increase your natural supply, it’s EASIER for you to break down food and that means: less digestive stress/strain —> more freed up energy for healing/transforming
Green Juices: green juices are made MOSTLY of veggies and yes lots of green ones. They are highly alkaline and help to shift your body to that state quickly. The top green juices will contain some or all in various combos: kale, spinach, romaine, lemon, apple, ginger, celery, cucumber, parsley, cilantro. Here are a few of my favorite simple blends:
Lemon, Cucumber, Celery: very hydrating
Pure cucumber juice: very cooling/hydrating
Kale, spinach, lemon, parsley, apple
Celery, cucumber, parsley
I’m also a fan of buying juices if I’m in a rush or traveling. My favorite brands are Pressed Juicery; Blueprint; and Suja. You are looking for Organic and cold pressed, made with mostly all veggies, maybe apple, ginger, lemon will also be included.
Herbal teas: You don’t have to drink tea in the morning or anytime, but you can. You can drink tea throughout the day or to end your day. Teas are amazingly powerful to help our bodies take health to the next level. Depending on what your symptoms are I recommend one or more of these:
Nettle leaf: helps to clear estrogen (so if you carry weight on the hips/thighs this is great), also helps with hormone balance, definitely take around your cycle, supports the liver
Lemon Balm: any central nervous system conditions: anxiety, depression, brain issues, nervous stomach, over thinking
Dandelion: excellent liver cleanser
Hibiscus Tea
Raspberry Leaf
Red Clover: great for cleansing the lymphatic system, helping to push crud/toxins that leaked out of the liver
How to use: boil water and drop one or more tea bags into your mug. Cover for about 10 minutes to allow tea to steep. (I just put a small plate over my tea cup while I wait).
Add organic raw honey if you like and enjoy warm, or chill your tea in a glass container in your refrigerator and enjoy cold and add raw honey or stevia later!
Smoothies
Very simply you need fruit, way more than you likely eat now and fruit is my #1 food group for breakfasts. Be wary of nasty protein powders with chemicals, additives and sugars, you don’t need fancy protein powders, you can just use plant proteins! Once you are ready to break your fast and begin eating whole foods, start with fruit!
Smoothie Formula:
1 banana + 1 -2 cups of other fruit (I usually do organic frozen wild blueberries/strawberries/mangoes) + water/non dairy unsweetened milk substitute + greens ( a good powder if fine, or just raw spinach/kale/anything really!) You can also do another banana or dates to sweeten it up more!
If you are healing something, you will need MORE fruit. You cannot overdo fruit. Make this taste good, it’s supposed to!
Do you NEED a protein powder? No, you do not. If you want to add one, I recommend 2-3 TBSP plant protein of your choice that doesn’t have crappy ingredients added.
Plant Proteins:
Raw organic hemp seeds
Raw organic milled chia or flax (I use Mila from Live Pure and this is the MAIN thing I personally use if any)
Pea protein
I use Food Babe’s chocolate and vanilla plant based protein (only 5 ingredients) and highly recommend!
Chia Bowls
Chia bowls are as easy as smoothies and basically are unblended smoothies!
Chia Bowl Formula:
1/4 cup or less milled chia + top with your liquid (water/non dairy and no sugar added milk substitute) + plant based protein powder (optional) + greens powder (for this I always use spirulina) + fruit
A few of my favorite blends:
Peaches + Pears + cinnamon + chia + flax milk
Apples + Pears + chia + almond milk
Mangoes + Blueberries + chia + almond milk
Dark cherries + apples + chia + flax milk
NOTES:
I usually always use my vanilla protein powder in these to make it heartier and to boost the flavor. You could add honey or stevia if you don’t have a protein powder that sweetens it enough for you.
I love raw apples and wild blueberries, that’s my current obsession for these bowls with vanilla plant protein and spirulina and almond milk. You can watch this recipe in the video below!
If you do a chia bowl, please start with whole, fresh fruit first, when finished, wait 20 minutes and then move on to this!
