More New Year Resolution Support!

We're all about supporting you with your health and wellness goals this year.  Here are some more recipes, tips and tricks from the NibMor Gals and Team! 


HKT's Recipe of the week:

Make your own Museli

I took this recipe out of Whole Living Magazine and jazzed it up a bit.  Why am I so focused on breakfast these last two weeks?  It's the most important meal of the day!  Truly, it is- breakfast eaters tend to eat less throughout the day and are more binge resistant.  Get your breakfast on!  

2 tbsp whole rolled oats (or gluten free oats)
2 tbsp cooked brown rice
1/2 a green apple cut into slices
1 tbsp shredded raw coconut
1/2 cup almond milk (or whatever milk you like)
A sprinkle of coconut palm sugar (optional)

Add oats, rice and milk into a sauce pan.  Heat on medium high heat for several minutes- do not boil.  Mixture will thicken a bit.  Add apples and coconut and stir.  Keep on heat for one more minute.  Pour into a bowl and sprinkle a little coconut sugar on top.  Delicious! 

Juice with JLove:

Today is day 16 on the cleanse. YES, I decided to extend my cleanse another week. I want to REALLY push my reset button on this detox cleanse! One of the things that really helps me stay on track during my cleanse is being organized. Here’s how I organize each week:

1.      PLAN: On Sundays I sit down and plan what juice I will have for each meal that week (I list names/pages/books for each juice). I then put all of the recipes/books in a pile in my kitchen for easy access. (15min)

2.      CREATE SHOPPING LIST: Because I know what juices I will have each day of the upcoming week, I go through the juice recipes and make a list all of the ingredients. (15min)

3.      POST: I post my juice meal plan on the refrigerator for easy access.

4.      STOCK UP: I then take my shopping list to the grocery store and purchase all of the ingredients I need for that week. (30min)

5.      AM ROUTINE: Each morning I get up and make all of the juices for that day. (30 – 60min)


**Total Prep Time Spent = 1 hour planning and shopping. Total Daily Juicing Time Spent = 30 – 60 min. Easy breezy!!**

Being organized saves tons of time, removes frustration and makes it easier to stay on track.

Here’s a new favorite juice of mine:
Refreshing Fennel-Pear
2 Pears
5 – 8 Mint Leaves
2 Medium Fennel Bulbs

* inspired by Joe Cross’s Reboot Juice


Few health facts from Lauren:
Hey Nibblers did you know that drinking Green Tea can help boost your immune system and help boost your metabolism as well.  Research has also shown that Green Tea can have a positive effect when fighting cancer and heart disease.  Basically something as simple as drinking a cup of Green Tea each day can give your body lots of antioxidants to help fight off toxins!  So go out and get some green tea!

And finally, the fun part, your Jam list from Jenny S.: This week it's all about art and inspiration. 

Theme: Creative Calm

This week I have been in a very creative state of mind from the kitchen to creating home beauty remedies. I enjoy listening to my music loud, but when I am concentrating or focusing it's hard to have tunes that overwhelm your thoughts. So I like to listen to Jams that can create a soundtrack to me; cooking, dancing, sketching, sewing, creating art, knitting, or painting my nails hot pink, you name it!

Tunes:
1. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
2. Help I'm Alive by Metric
3. Save Me by Jem
4. What the Water Gave me by Florence and The Machine
5. Set fire to the Rain by Adele
 

Till next week!
