~

Hi everyone! I'm Andie, a holistic nutritionist from Toronto. Today I'm going to be taking you along with me. Let's get going!

8:00 a.m. - Chlorella water, followed by Adaptogenic Coffee

"I love spiking my coffee with adaptogens. Ashwagandha helps the body adapt to stress and makes me feel balanced and energetic."

"Coffee should always be organic to avoid harmful pesticides and herbicides (it's heavily sprayed otherwise). I always look for fair and direct trade coffee to support the farmer's and their families."

8:30 a.m. - Chia pudding with Chaga mushroom and fresh fruit 

10:40 a.m. - Rainbow Superfood Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

"Fruits and vegetables get their unique colors from photochemical compounds. Not only are they beautiful in your fridge, they are beautifying within the body."

Green Goddess Dressing

Ingredients

⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. dijon mustard

½ tsp. Bio-Active Honey

1 tsp. Green Adaptogen

Salt to taste

 

 Method

Mix together until emulsified.

Add to lightly roasted vegetables and fresh greens for a nourishing plant-based meal!

 

Roasted Vegetables for Rainbow Superfood Salad 

"The best cooking oil: coconut, ghee, avocado oil (my favourite). These oils are less likely to rancify when heated."

"Extra virgin olive oil is one of the healthiest oils. It should not be used at very high temperatures. Butttt pour that oil all over your salads."

12 p.m. - Movement

1:30 p.m. - Sexy Hot Chocolate with He Shou Wu and Pine Pollen

 

Sexy Hot Chocolate

 Ingredients

Cacao, He Shou Wu, Pine Pollen, Cinnamon, Raw Honey and homemade Walnut Milk

 

 Method

Mix together and enjoy warm!
