Breakfast

THE BIG GREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL

Quick Base Prep: grab a Blended Green Smoothie
Suggested: Greens D-tox or if you prefer a fruitier blend, try The Remedy or Green Beginnings

Let pack soften partially (so you can just break the smoothie pack in half) & add to blender with 1/2 of a banana + 1 cup of cold water.  Blend. Smoothie texture should be thick.  

Toppings: walnuts, raspberries, seeds, coconut

Lunch 

The Power Bowl  (makes 2 servings)

Ingredients

 
The Roasted Veggies:
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped (1.5 cups)
1 cup cauliflower, chopped into small florets 
1 medium red onion, peeled and chopped
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
 
The Quinoa:
1 cup uncooked quinoa
 
The Greens + Toppings:
2 cups chopped lettuce/greens (romaine, Iceberg, kale, etc)
Salad dressing - simple extra virgin olive oil, lemon, garlic. pepper (per serving, about 1 TBSP olive oil, 2 TBSP lemon juice, garlic clove chopped, dash ground black pepper - whisk together) 
1 cup ripe avocado, sliced
1 cup cucumber, chopped
2 TBSP fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup hummus (use one that is fresh-made with olive oil, not canola). 


Instructions

Position oven rack near the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the chopped “to-be-roasted” veggies onto the baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over top and toss the veggies until they’re lightly coated. Add a small pinch of sea salt & black pepper. 

Roast the veggies for @ 30 to 35 minutes until golden. Check sweet potato is cooked through. 

While the veggies are roasting, add the quinoa to a large pot along with 1.75 cups water and a pinch of sea salt. Stir. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low-medium, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and cook for 12 to 14 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove the lid and fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork.

Remove the roasted veggies from the oven.

To make the power bowls (recipe above makes 2): add a couple generous handfuls of chopped lettuce/greens to the bottom of large shallow bowls. Drizzle with a bit of dressing and toss the lettuce/greens until coated. Top with your prepped quinoa and roasted veggies. Add diced avocado, cucumber, fresh basil, and top with hummus. Finish with a squeeze of lemon.

How's Your Heart Health?

 

Keeping your heart strong is a critical part of longevity, so today we're sharing some easy ways to help keep your ticker healthy. 

1. Get Walking: 20 minutes of brisk walking per day goes a long way.
2.  Start Lifting & Build Muscle: if you’re not already on the strength training train, start with 10 minutes per day and build up from there. If the gym isn’t your thing, try an app (Ladder is a fave over here) for body weight only and progressive programs. 
 
3. Limit alcohol: alcohol is a major risk factor for high blood pressure (hypertension), which is a condition where your blood pumps with more force than normal through your arteries or blood vessels. It is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke.
 
4.  Stop drinking sugar-added & other empty calorie (zero nutrition benefit) drinks: cutting out just one sugar-sweetened soda or calorie-laden latte can easily save you 100 (or more) calories a day. Over a year, that can translate into 36,500 less calories (let that sink in) and 10 lbs of lost weight. 
 
5.  Load up on fibre (we have a lot to say about this one – check it out below).

Not into learning more about fibre science? Skip to the food recommendations and recipes in the next section. 

Fibre & Your Heart

Eating a diet high in fibre can significantly reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. Fibre is a carbohydrate (from plant-based foods) that your body can't break down, so it passes through the body without being digested. It comes in two varieties: insoluble and soluble.

Insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water and is intact as food moves through the gastrointestinal tract. It’s found in whole grains, wheat bran and flour, nuts and vegetables. 

Soluble fibre easily dissolves in water and breaks down into a gel-like substance in the colon. Sources include barley, oatmeal, beans, apples, citrus fruits and peas.

Both types of fibre are linked to heart health and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.  

Recommended minimum daily fibre: 30 grams for women and 38 grams for men (I get 40 grams+ daily). It’s not hard to get your daily fibre grams, check out the chart in this article for a guide: Fibre Counts.

Heart-Health Go-To Foods

In addition to being high in fibre, the foods below all have other properties that support heart health and function.  

Berries: they’re full of soluble fibre and heart-healthy phytonutrients that help prevent (and repair) cell damage. Different berries have different types of phytonutrients, so switch it up between blueberries, raspberries, goji berries. In addition to frozen whole berries, I often add powder-format berry extracts like acai and camu camu to my smoothies.

Dark Leafy Greens: fibre-rich and high in Vitamin K, which supports heart arteries and healthy blood clotting. They also contain calcium, which supports blood vessel function. Spinach, kale, Swiss chard, collard/mustard greens and bok choy are great choices.

Seeds: packing @ 5 grams of fibre per TBSP, as well as being Omega-3* and Magnesium-rich**, chia, hemp & flax seeds are an easy way to give your meals a ‘heart healthy’ boost. Add them into smoothies, cereal, hummus and dressings.

Avocado: not only does one avocado (medium size) give you about 12 grams of fibre, it's also high in Vitamin K, magnesium and Potassium (an important mineral and heart-essential electrolyte).  

Other Heart-Healthy Foods To Get in Your Diet 

* Omega-3 rich foods: omega-3 may protect your heart by helping reduce inflammation (which can damage heart vessels), lower triglycerides (a fat in your blood), reduce blood pressure and prevent blood clots. Salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines, and seeds (hemp, chia, flax) are all high in omega-3.

** Magnesium: central to a healthy heart rhythm because it's involved in transporting other electrolytes, such as calcium and potassium, into cells. Electrolytes are all important for nerve signals, controlling blood pressure, and the muscle contractions of a normal heartbeat. 

The good news is that every single one of our blends is high in fibre (10 grams to 14 grams per blend).  

Sample One-Day High-Fibre Menu

Below is a full day of high-fibre, heart healthy recipes.


Breakfast: The Green Goodness Smoothie

(or have our Green Mo, Remedy, Greens Daily Dose or Green Beginnings Smoothies)

½ avocado (or ½ cup frozen pieces)

1 cup organic spinach or kale

½ banana (medium size)

½ cup blueberries

2 TSP almond butter

1 TBSP chia seeds

1 TBSP sprouted protein

1 cup plain (no sugar added) oat milk (go for the refrigerated vs shelf-stable tetra pack types)

Snack: Easy Chia Cups (makes 3 to 4 servings)

The Base:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds

  • 1 tbsp real maple syrup 

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

In a mixing bowl add almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (to taste), and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours). The chia pudding should be thick and creamy. If liquid form, add more chia seeds, stir, and refrigerate for another hour or so. Add toppings and serve. 

Topping ideas: berries, shredded coconut, dice tropical fruits like mango & pineapple, chopped nuts.

Storage: you can fridge-store your chia pudding in an airtight for up to 5 days.
