This is my go to set up for a great cleanse that is affordable, super practical and powerful!
It’s simply: Water, coffee, bottled green juices with one ginger elixir shot, then a cleansing salad for dinner.
YOU should do this cleanse on less active days. Just follow the 7 steps daily for 3 days.
1. First thing when you wake up = Water!
Drink at least 12 oz before your first cup of coffee
2. COFFEE! If coffee is not for you skip to #3
Only have Bulletproof Coffee OR plain coffee
CLICK HERE for Bulletproof Video and guide
3. More Water. Drink another 20 -32 ounces within 2 hours of waking up.
4. WHEN very hungry =
KOR Ginger Shot + One Green juice EVOLUTION, Green Devotion
(See 2 other green juice choices below) Evolution Essential Greens
OR Columbia Gorge “ Just Greens”
#5. When very hungry again have another Green juice. Either of the Evolution Greens OR Columbia Gorge is great!
6. Dinner = Cleansing Salad with healthy fats and lean protein.
Use Primal Kitchen Dressings.
My fav is lemon turmeric.
#7. Go to bed!
Feeling hungry after dinner. Try your best not to eat within 3 hours of bedtime. Best fix is to have some herbal tea and hit the hay!
Rinse and repeat for 2 more days:)

The benefits of coffee are so huge, I gave coffee beans their own page CLICK HERE for “why coffee is awesome”
#1 Increases your ability to burn body fat ( when you are active)
Next up in benefits with coffee and tea is the
#2 Polyphenols!
coffee has the most polyphenols
What are Polyphenols? Naturally occurring compounds in plants that protect against pathogens and radiation (disease causing pollutants and sun damage) .
When you ingest polyphenols your colon utlizes most of it to protect your body from free radicals ( anti cancer) and create more friendly bacteria in your gut (better digestion and brain health)
#3 Green Tea has L Theanine & Catechins!
Catechins = Antioxidants in green tea that increases the rate at which body fat gets burned for fuel ( speeds up fat burning when you move)
L- Theanine – Green Tea contains Theanine. The Amino Acid that increases activity of GABA (your brains neurotransmitter which reduces anxiety and helps you feel calm and centered. L Theanine Icreases Alpha brina waves, enhances focus and creativity.
Black tea and green tea come from the same plant. What makes black tea different is the fermentation. TO make black tea , the leaves are rolled and then exposed to air to trigger fermentation. This reaction causes the leaves to turn dark brown and allows flavors to heighten and intensify.
Black tea also helps the body burn fat for fuel ( thermogenic)
#4 Black Tea Lowers Cortisol/ Reduces Stress
“Black Tea has been proven to reduce stress levels . Study published in peer related journal psychopharmacology, found that drinking 4 cups of black tea each day for 6 weeks directly lowered cortisol levels. ( From Eat Smater pp.195 by Shawn Stephenson)”
So there you have it, four big ass reasons to keep caffeine in your lifestyle. Just make sure and consume the highest quality caffeine. (BEST matcha, coffee beans, chocolate, black tea..)
** make ahead tip: place the contents in a resealable bag or airtight container. refrigerate for 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months, defrost overnight in a fridge and simply do step 2 🙂
Summer may seem like a weird time for crock pot recipes, but really it’s the perfect set up. You spend very little time in the kitchen and you don’t use your stove/oven. Win, win!
The best part is you cook once, with very little time of your own then you have a great meal for 2 people for 2-3 meals. I often cook one recipe and have it for 3 dinners (Sat, Mon & Wed.. my longest days) I can reheat it and have a kick ass dinner ready in just 4 mins.
Simply reheat on the stove top then serve it over raw spinach, chard or kale with goat cheese, walnut and avocado.
Here are 2 crock pot recipes that I use super often in the summer. CLICK on each below and enjoy!
Serve these up instead of using your outside grill. Two carcinogenic compounds (HCA’s + PAH’s) are formed with open flames and dry air.
** Pro Tip! Double the recipe – If you don’t have 2 crockpots- put the raw ingredients in a large freezer ziplock bag- simply freeze it until you are ready to cook again. Take it out of the freezer on a busy work morning, let it cook for up to 9 hours on low (no need to be home) and whallah, you’re set!
Slow cooker recipes are perfect for summertime dinners. Your kitchen doesn’t get hot AND it’s a much better for your body than grilling
Next time you have guests over for a summer dinner, try this Ropa Vieja It’s great with a cucumber and goat cheese salad! enjoy!
Recipe from Danielle Walker’s Against All Grains
Place all of the ingredients except the olives in a slow cooker, with the beef on the bottom.
Cover and cook, undisturbed for 7 hours. Add the olives and cook an additional hour
Once done, shred the meat with 2 forks and return to the sauce before serving.
**pro tip – double this and have extra for 2 extra evenings for you and yours. (put ingredients in an aritight container, keep in fridge and put it in the slow cooker) – cook it for your friends and the next day or a couple later- simply toss in the crockpot to make more.
I often do this and simply reheat in a pan quickly for a busy night dinner. I add about 1.5 cup spinach to the Ropa Vieja 1 min before it’s done to get in more veg then Add some gluten free toast, with avocado (my fav is Food for Life, seed muffins) .
Whallah! Enjoy:)

BELOW are the fixin’s for Healthy Smores!
Don’t worry they are still totally delicious + less sugar hangover.
HONEY MAMA’s are hands down my favorite chocolate bar.
This is super delicious, VERY satiating (you don’t need much to be satisfied) and feels indulgent.
I buy a couple of these for friends when life gets rough OR when they are coming over to enjoy with coffee.
These are also great as the chocolate part of your smores, they are softer than a hard chocolate bar AND have way better ingredients.
They are refined sugar free and dairy free CLICK HERE for their product site CLICK HERE for amazon order link
I will be putting these with the most healthy graham crackers & marshmallows I can find
KINNICKKINNICK – gluten free, dairy free no refined sugar
For the mallows- I go with DANDIES …I gotta be honest – NO marshmallows are healthy.. they are sugar! But I indulge a couple times a year with these. They have less additives and are made in a dedicated vegan facility. Both should be at your local CO-OP or check Amazon:)
Enjoy your 4th of July!
Watch the video below for 2 quick tools that cool down your body temp.
Fun part is I show you how you can still indulge a little:) Heck, it’s summer and you’re human!
Review!
1. Eat Foods that get your body to produce MORE nitric oxide (check out THIS VIDEO LESSON to learn exaclty what foods produce LESS Nitric Oxide)
2. Breathe in and out through your nose. This will make your blood vessels relax and widen which will help your blood flow & respiration. This also COOLS your body down
Stay cool!
This is my favorite snack! I use these often to get through a long workday or right before a workout. Cool thing is they are great as a bedtime snack (when you are too hungry to get to sleep)
Not only do they taste amazing, they are super great right before a workout when you need some quick fuel.Here’s a quick list of their nutritional benefits:
