Vegan Eats and Drinks. Starting your day with Essential Oils.

One thing is for sure, and that is, if you have not tried 100% Raw Coconut Water Dark Cacao, you are missing out.

Coconut water is super hydrating and tastes absolutely amazing. The difference with this coconut water is that it is never heated, which makes for the best flavor. Look for a pink one for an added bonus.

Most people miss out on the most important part of the day, and that my friends is breakfast. You absolutely need to start your day with nourishment. To kick start my day I usually drink three cups of water, two cups of green tea, and then a smoothie of some sort. Personally I have grown to absolutely adore my Nutribullet Rx. Not only is this blender great for smoothies but you can make some great nutrient packed soups. Anyway, if you are not eating breakfast your really doing it all wrong. Here is a recipe to try, its easy and tastes great.

Smoothies are quick and great for on the run breakfast. This week I made a great smoothie it included:  2 cups Red Swiss chard, 2 beets, 1/4 cup pomegranate juice,  1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup almonds, 1 banana, and 2 cups water. Makes 2 servings

After making this smoothie for a couple of days, I decided to give my Ningxia Red a try. Whoa!!! Was I impressed.

Ningxia red is a product from Young Living Essential oils. It is a antioxidant powered drink. It is made from wolfberries; as well as blueberry, aronia, cherry, pomegranate, and plum juice, natural stevia extract, grape seed extract, pure vanilla extract, and orange, yuzu, lemon and tangerine essential oils. I used 1oz of Ningxia in my smoothie, and had a really pleasant experience. I felt nourished, energized, and focused. I also felt like it curbed my appetite, and sustained my energy all day long.

Recently, I have become involved and obsessed with essential oils from young living. Another way that I have recently started to get my day going, is by diffusing Citrus Fresh Essential Oil in the morning. I also occasionally will mix Citrus Fresh with olive oil and rub on the bottom of my feet to feel uplifted. Citrus Fresh is a blend of orange, grapefruit, mandarin, tangerine, lemon, and spearmint. The smell is amazingly crisp and fresh. Citrus Fresh can be purchased from me for $20.07 for 15ML.
