LEAFY GREENS

NUTS

Full of magnesium, most nuts provide a quick pick-me-up and help to keep you there.

Soaking nuts in water the night before helps with digestion and is also easier for your blender to chop them up without hurting the blades.

SEEDS

Chia and Sunflower seeds help regulate your blood sugar giving you energy throughout the day. They’re a great source of fiber and protein and you can’t beat that crunch factor. 

Keep a handful of these items on hand at all times if you’re struggling with keeping your energy-levels up. You’ll thank yourself later!

Here is a little gem of an idea:

 Take a serving of wheat grass, about one eighth of a tray, put it in a high speed blender, add one or two cups water and blend until water is nice and green. Strain and keep water, that is where all the good stuff is. Put it back in your blender and use that as a base for your smoothie, whatever you decide to put in your smoothie, it already has an excellent base of great nutrition in the wheat grass juice.

Namaste!
