Sometimes after a long holiday weekend (especially with a birthday), you just need to cleanse. I have tried a variety of cleanses in the past: master cleanses, juice cleanses, only fruit and veggie cleanses. For me, I find I always overeat right before and after. I think because of the deprivation? These days I find just eating a little cleaner, and more nutrient dense, with a little more freedom, for a few days does the trick. I feel lighter, and more energized.
Here is my “go to” energizer Superfood Smoothie. Drink this everyday for a week, and see how you feel
. I put in some optional ingredients so you can mix it up a bit.

Superfood Smoothie
3/4 cup of blueberries
1/2 cup of spinach
1 frozen banana (or 1/2 cup of pineapple)
1 cup of almond milk (or coconut)
1 scoop of protein powder
1 Tbsp Peanut Butter (or Almond Butter)
1 Tbsp Chia seeds
1 Tbsp Greek yogurt (optional)
Stevia to taste (optional)
6-8 icecubes
Place in a blender and mix it up!


Chia seeds? What am I missing? I keep seeing these on recipes, both on your site and a few others. What are the health benefits?
Lots! These little seeds have healthy fats, fiber and protein. Plus, they soak up hydration. When mixed in a smoothie, they thicken it up. Same with oatmeal….
