Spring Into Summer! {Our super-clean 5 day reset}
With the flurry of spring activities, and (can you believe it?) summer arriving soon, we have to admit - the past year has left us feeling a bit less than stellar about our health, energy and vitality, and not to mention a few added "Geez" on the LBS!
It's definitely time to prioritize self-care, friends! That doesn’t mean skipping out on all the fun—fun is crucial for the soul—it just means making space for healthy foods that will keep you feeling light, bright and beautiful. When you start feeling off-center, it’s best to reel things in a bit and give yourself a little reset. Our very favorite way to do that is with our 5 Day Spring Cleanse.
Your body craves real, nourishing food. But sometimes when life gets stressful, healthy eating goes out the window. You’re energy is low or you’re too busy to cook, so you reach for comfort foods or whatever is quick an easy. (Frozen pizza anyone?)
Eventually, your body will start speaking to you in unpleasant ways: fatigue, insomnia, skin problems, bloating, weight gain, sore joints or sugar cravings. When you notice those symptoms, it’s time for a reset—to come back to clean food & vibrant health.
Now, when we want a reset - we still eat good food. Our style of re-calibrating is centered around fresh soups, teas + tonics, smoothies, crunchy salads and nut milks made with organic fruits, veggies and plant-based super foods.
Give us 5 days - Let's reset habits, clear our minds, crush the "Covid Cushion" and cruise into summer feeling light, bright and, well, AWEsome.
We start May 17!

In the meantime, try one of our favorite reset bevvies: The GCF All Day Energy Smoothie!
All Day Energy Smoothie
This smoothie is delicious, satisfying and designed to help keep your energy levels stable throughout the day. Matcha is a powder form of green tea leaves. It has all of the amazing antioxidant benefits of green tea, but in a more concentrated form. In addition to its energy enhancing qualities, matcha is associated with mood regulation, increased metabolism, and antioxidant power. We love it added to smoothies (especially if you’re trying to kick the coffee habit).
Ingredients: Makes 2
1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
Handful of spinach
1⁄4 ripe avocado
1 banana, frozen
1 1⁄2 cups almond milk or nondairy milk of choice
1 pitted Medjool date
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
If you don’t have a frozen banana, add ice to the smoothie. Blend, Sip and Enjoy!
