The best NON-GMO Organic supplement on the market... period.

I was sitting in the dentist chair last night and my dentist was all absorbed in hearing about my cancer battle.  I was surprised at how hungry he was to hear my story. Turns out his wife is just this year, a 5 year survivor of breast Cancer. Tears welled up in his eyes as he listened to me speak about the process and how we found out and what the year long battle was like. He then looked at me in the eyes and said:

"Why is it that we as people have to wait for our lives to be at risk before we do something about what we are putting into our bodies?"

He hit the nail on the head. I am sure many of you reading this are just thinking; "well I am fine, I will cross that bridge if I get to it." You will get to it. I promise you. I am just hoping and praying your outcome is as good as mine was. It is rare to live through. Many do, but for the rest of our lives we are "high risk" and we don't have a choice regarding what we put in our bodies after that. We are stuck with high doctor bills and going in for a full work up every 3 months. Being poked and prodded and put in various machines. We are faced every 3 months with our battle and we wait for the phone call that will tell us yay or nay. I hate it. 

I agreed with my dentist and we kept on chatting. He is an older wiser man, who was born and raised in the United States, but his family is from Mexico. He spoke of how hard it is for them to find real food in America. He spoke of the processed foods and all the chemicals they learned about during his wife's battle. Again, I agreed with him and proceeded to give him tips on how to avoid produce from U.S.A and Canada. I also started giving him cancer fighting superfood information that he quickly wrote down. 

I am one of those people that needs facts. I need to educate myself in order to make proper choices for me and my health. With so many supplements and shakes out there I got overwhelmed and turned off to all things smoothie and supplement for a while. That is until Cancer hit. You get an education, and FAST!

One of my first questions to my doctor, when told about the diet I needed to be on because cancer thrives off of "American Food", was "Why isn't everyone told this? Why is it allowed." The answer was simple. "Freedom." Yep, we are in the land of the free. That means you are free to choose to educate yourself, and you are free not to. The FDA is not approving things they think are great for you. They are simply allowing so many thousands of chemicals in items.... in other words... they have determined what wont kill you now, in that one item. They don't tell you what happens when you continue to eat non-food items day in and day out. Where do those items go? Systs, Tumors, Growths... I have said it all before, but you are still here, so that means you are still interested in learning. That my friend is your first step.

So I set forth to educate myself day in and day out. I spent hundreds of dollars a month buying imported peruvian superfoods, concentrate powders, extracts etc.. It broke the bank, but it was what my body needed. I started to really bounce back and get healthy. Today, one year later I am cancer free. 

So what did I learn along the way? I was doing it the hard way.  Enter Shakeology. Thanks to some awesome advice from my doctor, who couldn't sell it to me because it is a conflict of interest, but she pointed me to it. You see it has EVERYTHING, and I mean everything and then some, I need to keep my body cancer free and help me shed off all the extra pounds that came with Cancer. For those who have had cancer, they know what I mean. Bloating, water weight, pounds from having to lay around for a year. All of it made me feel awful. 

THIS is what taking this has done for me!!

- 65 pounds

cancer free

happy

healthy 

strong!

I now feel like it is my job to educate those that have not had the cancer battle, or the education that I have had. So sit back and here is why there is not a single other product on the market that compares. 

First of all let's talk about cost. Do you have 2 minutes? Please watch to see how there is over $700 in organic superfoods in ONE bag of Shakeology. Get your Shakeology HERE!

Next, let's break down those ingredients.

Yikes huh? 

So now you are probably thinking... well what about other shakes? 

Take a second to look at this so you can KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR SHAKE!

So what about Isogenix? You have heard such great things about it right? Well... let's compare. 

The positives of Isagenix is that it contains 23 grams of protein per serving (compared to Shakeology’s18 grams of protein per serving). Isagenix, like Shakeology, also contains many naturally occurring ingredients which set them apart from other meal replacements. However, I have not found other components that set Isagenix apart from Shakeology.

On the negative side, Isagenix contains 1100% more fat than Shakeology (6 grams compared to less than half a gram). It also contains more cholesterol and sodium than is found in Shakeology and contains 240 calories per serving when Shakeology only has 150 calories per serving.

Isagenix lacks to potency of the vitamins and minerals that Shakeology contains. Isagenix has only 40% of the daily recommended allowance of Vitamin C versus 300% inShakeology. It lacks significance of other vitamins contained in every Shakeology drink such as Vitamin B1, B2, and B3. You would actually have to drink 2-4 Isagneix shakes to get the same concentration of vitamins and minerals found in just 1 Shakeology shake.

I do feel that Isagenix is one of the better meal replacement shakes, but it just does not compare to Shakeology. Shakeology is a step above the rest.

The only other shake that even comes close to Shakeology is Vega One.. however close but no cigar. Why? Well let me tell you....

This Sunday Yoga + Nutrition = NOURISH

I am excited to teach this Sunday along side the amazing Heather Foat​ at Pura Vida Yoga​ Come get your flow on with me, and then enjoy a healthy clean eating treat after while I share with you my secrets to staying healthy and fit through nutrition. Hope to see you there!!! 

Organic and Non-Gmo... no problem!

Today I want to give a huge shout out to Jimbo's Naturally. They recently sponsored Nourish the Workshop and helped us provide Parents and Kids with a wholesome meal at our yoga and nutrition workshop. 

I decided to take a longer time than usual during this visit to Jimbo's so I could show you why they are so great. 

So let's go in shall we? 

If you follow me, you know my passion is all about ending the trend of obesity in this nation. I believe it is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise that will do it. Fueling your body with wholesome whole foods that are non-gmo and organic is the first step to a healthy life. That is why Jimbo's is so awesome. They strive to have a non-gmo store and do their best to label accordingly so you are always educated about what is in your food. Even though I try to stay away from packaged food as much as possible. There are some healthy ones out there like my favorite brown rice cakes that are a great go-to for lunches and snacks. So happy they are non-gmo and organic! 

The produce at jimbo's is amazing. I could spend all day in that section. Oh the possiblities!!! Thank you Jimbo's for having nothing but the best! 

What I am holding here is a daikon and it is one of my go-to veggies for kids. Why? Because you can make cute shapes out of them, and they are pretty much tasteless. Which means they adapt to whatever flavor you dip them in. I serve these cute skewers with my greek yogurt ranch dip and the kids go crazy.

Teaching the next generation about wholesome food is the only way we can break the cycle. Getting them to learn healthy food is yummy and fun is so important!!! Many of these kids had never had a daikon before. It is like a cross between a radish and a carrot. Texture of a radish, with a bland flavor like a carrot. 

With all this amazing produce donated by Jimbo's 

I was able to teach the parents how to make healthy fun food for their kids, while they enjoyed a fun yoga class from Heather Foat! She played yoga bingo with them and got some of their energy out while I met with the parents. 

  The parents got to ask me questions and create something fun!

So their kids came out of class with a full fun plate of healthy food to eat! 

I want to extend much love and gratitude to Jimbos' Naturally for supporting our cause to bring movement and nutrition to EVERYONE!

You can do one or both. I am doing them back to back for the best new year results ever. Looking forward to hearing from you!!!

Raw Vegan Caprese

I was recently blessed to receive a Veggetti™ Spiral Vegetable Cutter in exchange for my opinion on the product. This cute little Veggetti™ Spiral Vegetable Cutter turns veggies into good-for-you spaghetti or fettuccine with just the twist of your wrists.

My first comment to my husband, was how handy this will be to have on our sailboat, or camping. No need for huge equipment or electricity. With just a few minutes I was able to have a large bowl of healthy raw veggie pasta.  The Veggetti™ Spiral Vegetable Cutter is very easy to use, anyone can learn to use it quickly and safely. I recommend it!

I had 3 people for lunch today, so I thought I would give this tool a whirl. My husband popped in from work to fill his tummy, and a friend stopped by to catch up on her lunch break. So I went to what was fresh and ready for eating. This took me 5 minutes to make and less time to gobble it up. We all loved it. Don't be afraid of healthy food! Make this!

Vegan Strawberry Citrus Blitz Smoothie

I recently was fortunate to review the book: 365 Vegan Smoothies by Kathy Patalsky of Healthy-Happy-Life.com  While I was sent a copy of the book, I was not paid to write this and all opinions are my own.

With 100,000 Twitter followers and a blog that receives half a million unique visitors a month, food writer Kathy Patalsky loves sharing her passion for healthy, vegan cuisine. With 365 Vegan Smoothies, she makes it possible for everyone to enjoy this daily diet enhancement that is free of animal products (even honey) and the saturated fats, chemicals, and hormones that often accompany them.

With my busy life, I find smoothies are a quick easy way to get wholesome nutrition into the body. I tend to prefer to eat the whole food version, rather than blending it up, but my daughter is a smoothie fanatic. I have to admit, since getting this book, I am consuming a lot more smoothies. They take one or two minutes to throw together and are full of so many nutrients. 

This book is full of all the information you need to know to start throwing together your own smoothies. With a recipe for every day of the year, what are you waiting for? Her book can be found at amazon here: 

http://www.amazon.com/365-Vegan-Smoothies-Rainbow-Veggies/dp/158333517X

I decided to share with you a smoothie from the book, that I of course tweaked a bit. It is summer and that means all things citrus and strawberry around these parts (I live in Southern California). Since I have an abundance of both ingredients. I set out to make the Citrus Blitz that is on page 98 of the book. I added Maca Root and Chia seeds for added nutritional benefit. 

This is now my go to smoothie prior to a workout. With the natural vitamins and minerals and the naturally occurring sugars, it gives me the boost I need for my 75 minute Vinyasa Yoga classes.

Vegan Strawberry Citrus Blitz Smoothie

adapted from 365 Vegan Smoothies 

1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

1 frozen banana

1 cup strawberries

1/2 cup ice

1 tsp chia seeds (optional)

1 tsp maca root powder (optional)

Add all ingredients to a blender. 

Blend until it makes a frosty consistency. Enjoy!
