Everyday Inspiration for Your Wellness Journey

Have you ever had fresh pomegranate seeds AKA arils❤️? They are loaded with nutrients✨! Plus, they are so pretty. Pomegranate is in season now and it’s one of the delicious fruits🍎 I got at the farmers market this week - check out my #farmersmarketfinds IGTV 📺episode to see what other goodies I brought home🍐. . . Pomegranates are incredible🙌🏼! Research shows that they have three times the antioxidant activity of green tea🍵. They are also a powerful anti-inflammatory food and are high in Vitamin C🍋. They are easy to snack on or you can add them to oatmeal, smoothie bowls or eat them with yogurt 🍶and granola. They are also delicious in salads🥗! . . Seeding a pomegranate can seem difficult🤔 but here is how you can do it (almost) mess-free: * First, roll the pomegranate to loosen the seeds👌🏻 * Slice the fruit with a knife🔪, not cutting all the way through but enough that you can pull it apart * Submerge the fruit in a bowl of water💦 and pull apart, releasing the seeds with your hands * The seeds will sink and the skin will float * Remove the skin, then drain the seeds * Enjoy😋 . . What’s your favorite way to eat pomegranate arils💕? Share your ideas with me below👇🏻! . . #bestfinds #culvercityfarmersmarket #culvercityeats #eatinglocal #localfruit #californiaproduce #healthiestfood #breakfastbowls #localfoodie #marketfinds #antioxidantpacked #pomegranates
What is your favorite morning routine✨? I love spending time at the beach 🏖and doing my morning meditation there🙏🏻. I try to incorporate beach mornings as often as possible because they make me feel so happy🙌🏻. It’s the perfect way to prepare for a busy week or decompress from our hectic lives💫. . . Meditation helps me clear my mind💆🏻‍♀️. As an entrepreneur, I have to multitask a lot, and meditation actually increases our ability to do that and to manage stress👌🏻. By practicing mindfulness, it’s easier to notice distractions without losing focus on your task💡. Improving focus also helps with productivity👩🏻‍💻. . . How do you get ready for the week? Wishing you an awesome Monday💕! . . #morningroutines #meditationtime #mindfulnessmeditation #productivityplanner #beachdayeveryday #hellomondaymorning #mondaymornings #venicebeachcalifornia #ilovelosangeles #mindfulmornings
What is your favorite nut🥜? I recently went to northern California to see how almonds are harvested🍃. I learned so much about the process and was very impressed 😍by the local almond farmers that I met including @stewartandjasper and all that goes into almond growing and harvesting🙌🏼! I was also pleasantly surprised to learn from @californiaalmonds that most of the almond farms in CA are family 💚run and many have switched to sustainable water💦 use methods such as micro-irrigation. . . Did you know that almonds are the perfect snack😋? They are super high in fiber and healthy fats, which helps to manage #bloodsugar levels👌🏻. They are also rich in vitamin E, which is a powerful #antioxidant and helps to make your skin glow✨. . One of my favorite ways to eat almonds is in homemade granola🥣. This granola recipe is my new FAVE! It’s from McKenzie of @feedyourzest. I wasn’t supposed to finish the whole jar but I did🙈. Sorry, McKenzie! Lol . Ingredients: 1/4 C honey🍯, 1/4 C brown sugar, 1/4 C EVOO, 2 eggs🥚, dash of salt, splash of vanilla, 2 tsp cinnamon, 3 1/2 C oats🌾, 1 C unsweetened coconut🥥, flaked or shredded, 1/2 C whole milled flaxseed, 2 C of your favorite trail mix with almonds of course😍! . . Directions: 1. Grease a cookie sheet and preheat oven to 275 F🔥. 2. In a large pot over very low heat, whisk together brown sugar, honey, oil, eggs, salt (if desired), vanilla, and cinnamon👩🏻‍🍳. If egg begins to cook, turn off the burner, you just want a bit of warmth to adequately mix these ingredients🍳. 3. Add oats, mix well to coat with the sugar mixture. 4. Mix in coconut🥥 and milled flaxseed, then mix in trail mix🌰. 5. Spread the mixture evenly on the greased cookie sheet. 6. Bake for about 1 hour total⏱. Every 20-30 minutes, take granola out to stir🥄. It will be done when it is golden brown🧡. So easy and so yummy😍!! . . #californiaalmonds #howweharvest #almonds #californiaharvest #californiaproduce #ilovecalifornia #almondgranola #granola #nutsaboutnuts #healthyfats #goodfat #easygranola #granolarecipe #thebestfood #favoritesnack
Happy Monday fam💕!! Did any of you make it to the Farmers Market this weekend👩🏻‍🌾? Have you seen my recent #FarmersMarketFinds IGTV 📺episode? Last week I picked up artichokes🌱, sea beans and bell peppers🌶! Artichokes are rich in vitamins and fiber. Did you know that all of the artichokes in the US are grown in CA😮?! . . Many of my clients are intimidated by artichokes. But cooking them is super easy🍽: 1️⃣boil some water 💦with a squeeze of lemon or lime 🍋juice 2️⃣submerge artichokes and let simmer for about 45 minutes ⏱ 3️⃣enjoy with your favorite dips (may I suggest guac💚🥑?) . . Is anyone else excited for the fall season 🍂and all the amazing new foods coming to the markets🙌🏼? I also got some sea beans last week. They are a salty succulent 🌿that is edible and can be used in place of salt🥗! They are also high in protein, Vit A, calcium and iron and taste amazing in salads😍! Tell me your favorite find from the market below👇🏻. . . #happymondayvibes #farmersmarket #culvercity #culvercityfarmersmarket #veggies #seasonalfoods #ilovela #artichoke #seabeans #eatyourgreens #outdoorvoices #easyrecipe #howtocook #inmykitchen #coolfoods
How are you celebrating #nationaltacoday 🌮? I love loading up my tacos with veggies 🌶and lots of avocado🥑. Share your fave topping below👇🏻! . . #taco #tacolovers #maxicanfood #veggiefoodporn #veggietacos #tacos #mexicanfoodlover #tacotuesday #tacoanyday #tacoporn
Did you celebrate #nationalcoffeeday ☕️over the weekend? I celebrate every day 😜 because I  LOVE coffee😍! Did you know that for some people, moderate coffee consumption is actually linked to a longer lifespan😱? One more reason to have a cup in the morning✨! . . But here’s THE most important piece of info that often confuses people when it comes to the benefits vs. harms of coffee☕️: genetics influence how you metabolize coffee and how much you should have! There are slow and fast caffeine metabolizers, and the benefit (or harm) that you derive from coffee is based on your genetic predisposition💥. Nutrigenomics testing tells us which one type of metabolizer you are! If you want to find out more, check out the nutrigenomics test☝🏻 I offer to all of my clients and feel free to DM me your questions or put them below👇🏻. . . How many cups do you drink per day? I used to drink 2-4 but after doing the test and finding out that I am a slow metabolizer I now have 1-2☕️. . . #coffeemood #healthylife #coffeeislife #ilovecoffee #drinkup #healthfacts #coffeeday #morningvibes #butfirstcoffee #nutrigenomics #genetics #genetictesting #goodmorning #beachday #venicebeach #bluebottlecoffee

Some of the main ingredients are beets and cabbage🍲. They are high in iron, natural nitrates (which can help lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to muscles), gut soothing prebiotic fiber and tons of phytonutrients🙌🏼. . .

How often do you eat out🥡? I tend to eat out a lot because I am super busy😲! I am so grateful 🙌🏼that there are places like @eatflowerchild that offer delicious😋, healthy and quick meals👌🏻. . . I grabbed takeout at Flower Child 😍yesterday and got all this YUMMY food for a power lunch 🤤with my intern McKenzie @feedyourzest. I had the Mother Earth Grain Bowl 🍲with sustainable salmon 🐟(soooo good) and a cold brew coffee ☕️with almond milk🥛, and McKenzie got the Free Spirit Whole Grain wrap 🌯with passion fruit iced tea🍹. We also shared the GF mac n' cheese (OK GUYS THIS WAS FREAKIN' EPIC😍), the GF bittersweet brownie🍫 and GF chocolate chip cookie🍪. I am so impressed with their GF and sustainable options💚. . .

Have you ever had this cute little fruit😍? It’s a jujube and the texture and taste is somewhat similar to apples🍎. In traditional Chinese medicine, jujubes are used to treat #insomnia and reduce #anxiety 💫. They are also packed with nutrients such as Vitamin C (only two jujubes have more than your daily dose of Vit C🙌🏼!!) and lots of potassium. . . I love snacking on jujubes, or having them in my #overnightoats and #morningsmoothies 😋. Check out my latest IGTV 📺 episode where I talk all about jujubes and all the other fun seasonal stuff I get at my local farmers market👩🏻‍🌾! . . Do you have a favorite rare fruit👇🏻? . . #rarefruits #newfoods #foodfacts #jujube #healthyfoods #farmersmarket #localfoods #californiagrown #ilovela #culvercity #culvercityfarmersmarket #vitaminc #superfoods
Do you take time for self-care💆🏻? I always try to prioritize self-care because I know that I can’t be productive 👩🏻‍💻if I am not well-rested. Did you know that studies show that having flowers 💐in your home can increase compassion, make you feel more positive, and more energetic😍?! Sometimes self-care is treating yourself to a beautiful flower bouquet🙌🏼! . . I go to the farmer’s market every week to get fresh produce🥗. I also get flowers every time I go🌺! If you are curious to see what I get, make sure to check out my Farmers Market Finds on IGTV👆🏻! Having flowers around the house makes me feel so much happier🤗. . . There are actually more than 100 species of roses🌹! What are your favorite flowers👇🏻? . . Happy Friday! Hope you have a relaxing weekend, friends💚 . . #farmersmarketfinds #roses #freshflowers #selfcare #flowerfacts #iloveflowers #farmersmarket #weekendvibes #flowergirls #selflove
