A Day In The JUICY Life
As it turns out, our Juicy June was a huge hit amongst clients, and ourselves alike! This brightened twist on our signature program, offers 5 days of Good Clean eating, plus 3 cold pressed fresh green juices, 5 daily smoothies, and super clean snacks to help you re-energize yourself (we skip the usual chia pudding and treat and add high protein bliss bites instead) to get back into to your cleanest routine and into your brightest, most vibrant body. It’s been so well received that we have decided to extend through the summer and to build this into a consistent super juiced offering, coming live to our site soon… (stay tuned!)
To give you a deep dive into our “Juicy Summer” program, I’ve kept a play by play for what it looks like for me, in a day!
5:45 wake up… usually on my own but if not my alarm sounds at 5:55. I’ve been leaning less digital and in an effort to keep my bedroom screen free, i recently scooped up this old school alarm clock to allow for a phone free bedroom - no wires, plugs or wi-fi needed (loving this shift!)
6 am: make coffee, sip slowly and soak up the solitude. This is my me time in the morning. As an introvert, having time on my own is a must and it’s easy for me to sneak these quiet hours in the morning while the rest of my crew is still a-snooze… My morning fave is Peet’s organic French roast, I make it super strong, have just one cup, and cherish every sip!
I use this first hour to set intentions for the day, I write in my journal (at least a page a day) do a guided meditation (loving Abraham Hicks!) respond to and filter through emails, take my morning must have supplements (liquid vitamin D, probiotics, gut healing and hormone balance) and then…
7 am: Hop on my Peloton for a quick spin! I find even a short time on the bike is a mood booster and raises my vibration for the day. I love to ride with Emma, Ally or Cody for 10 to 20 minutes, and love an energizing playlist that inspires me to sing along. This gets the blood flowing, I break a sweat and get a nice jump start on my morning hydration. My goal is to gulp 64 oz of water before breakfast and this quick spin routine helps me do it. Three or four days a week I like to follow the bike with a 20 minute strength workout (body weight only) with Holly Rillinger, I’ve been following the routine from her book “Lifted” since the beginning of this year and I don’t get sick of it… it’s quick, effective and so accessible - keeping my back healthy and my muscles feeling supple and strong (not overworked!)
I finish my morning routine with a warm bath (adding eucalyptus oil and Epsom salt) and get ready to dive into my day.
8 :00 am: JUICE! This is when I love to fuel my cells with fresh, cold pressed green juice. We keep ours, at Tuesday Foods, low glycemic - so this is pure plant nourishment to kick off my day with zero crash. A hydrating green juice is such a great way to replenish the body with live enzymes, vitamins and nutrients, and this really sets the tone me, for clean eating throughout the rest of the day.
This is great to take in the car as a I shuffle the girls to wherever they might need to be that day and tides me over until…
9:30 am SMOOTHIE! My favorites of the moment are the Cherry Almond Vanilla, Awesome Acai, and always always Chef T’s Power Greens. I usually use a combo of coconut milk and coconut water as my liquid and I love to top my smoothies with a little crunch - a little sprinkle of our Baked Banana Bread Granola for the first two, and chef T’s with a sprinkle of bee pollen or peanuts. There is something about that crunch and added texture that really leaves me feeling satiated and satisfied. Plus, chewing your smoothie actually aids in digestion!
1 pm: I’ve usually been on a walking work meeting with LC (we love to crush some miles on the Hooks Spur stretch of the Rio Grand, you have probably seen us there!) or I’ve been busy running around with and entertaining my girls - and I’m ready to dive into some lunch! I try to finish another 32 oz of water before lunch so my grand total is creeping towards 100 oz by this time of day. My fave for lunch is the salad of the week… current obsession is the Colorado Cobb, we delivered this one this week and I could eat it all week long on repeat. Occasionally, I’ll add a lightly fried egg or a spoonful of wild alaskan salmon - but usually enjoy it just straight up. So refreshing, satisfying and YUM.
2 pm: I often crave a little something sweet after lunch so treat myself to the protein bite of the week (LOVE the Raw Carrot Cake Bites! Other faves are the Seedy Tahini and Oatmeal Raisin) and I sneak a splash of Blue Bottle organic cold brew because I just love it so much! It comes in a little 8 oz can and I stretch it over 2 days with a splash of Oatly Barista Creamer. Love this midday protein packed treat! This is when I like to wrap up any work: menu planning, food orders or client emails… my goal is to be off the computer by 4pm to tap in to family time for the afternoon.
4 pm The hot afternoon hump calls for some cool crudités and dips. The best part about this snack is that my daughters dive in too! Colorful, flavorful and so nutritious - this keeps me going and feeling great through what can sometimes feel like the slump. This week it’s Romanesco made with roasted red peppers and almonds and an all time fave, our Good Clean Bitchin’ Sauce. These dips fuel and energize all of us until dinner - super easy to take on the run if we are at the pond, the pool or anywhere in between.
6 pm: is my ideal dinner time as I don’t like to eat too close to bed time (and I truck in early!) Tonight I can’t wait for the Pasta Puttanesca with Zoodles of Zuchinni- I eat it fresh out of the fridge - top my portion with toasted pine nuts and currants, and I add an extra handful of arugula from the fridge to maximize my greens. This dinner is super delish, wonderfully well balanced and leaves me so satisfied I don’t crave another bite.
8:30 pm: I drink a little more water, take my evening supplements (magnesium and liquid iron) and I’m off to bed where I’ll chat and cuddle with my girls, read for an hour (any great memoir recs? that is my genre of choice…) and love to have lights off by 9. Can you even believe it!? We usually beat the sun to sleep :)
As I turn out my light, I’m feeling content, grateful, satisfied, and super juiced to do it all again tomorrow…
