juicing!

25 Mar

Eat (or drink!) your veggies!

(Haha, like the glass?!)

I’m totally loving my new juicing routine, and have even gotten my boyfriend into it! I have the Breville Juice Fountain Plus – a great investment and only $130 if you buy at Bed Bath and Beyond with a 20% coupon. It’s easy to use and clean and pretty efficient; I use a big bowl of veggies and fruit for a glass of juice.

My favorite combos so far are: (more…)

chocolate

16 Mar

Today’s nutrition quote from class:

“Ounce for ounce, nothing you can eat has more antioxidants than chocolate.”- Steve Schechter, N.P., H.H.P.

It may also lower cholesterol and blood pressure.  Too good to be true? I think not. I’m a proud Belgian with a serious chocolate addiction.  But quite literally, it’s all good. Just remember – the darker the better.  Steve promised us a dairy-free chocolate mousse recipe next week, so I’ll be sure to post!

Light on Yoga

4 Mar

Less than two months until yoga bootcamp, the first week of the yoga teacher training journey I’m embarking upon this year. I’m so excited and can’t believe how soon I’ll be immersed in yoga love – ahhh, heaven! Seriously, it’s the perfect staycation: a week away from daily life, immersed in yoga with an amazing guru (and 8 others who share my passion), filled with discussions, asana practice, meditation and the comforts of home to start and end each day. There’s something so magical about yoga to me and the more I learn, the more I love it so I really can’t wait!  (Yep, I might be a yoga dork.)

To prep, I’m reading “Light on Yoga,” by B.K.S. Iyengar.  I’m already absorbing so much and am eager to learn more and share.  I’m going to document my experiences here at Balancing Wellness – so more to come!  Namaste!
