Hi There Friends,
Today, (yesterday) was the 1st day of our new Arbonne DBC. I am leading a small group of friends through this journey this time. I am excited for this to be as much of a motivator for me as it is for them. I am determined to stay on track and get ready for the summer. I have the wonderful opportunity to jump back in to my work out boot camp with my trainer Jonothon next week. Schedule permitting. I will have to see what my boss and I can work out. I am finding that eating is getting easier as time goes on. I have taken out caffeine (more pointed soda) for Lent, we are at 27 of 40 days. I feel less and less like I need it. I have been drinking water a lot more and it is almost time for me to break out the Mr. Tea Maker. I am snacking more in the early afternoons. I think this is mostly due to my work schedule, I now get in to the office at 8AM. Which I actually really like. I can get a lot more done the morning with this schedule. I am almost out of my cold/allergy fog. I will be HAPPY for the day when the flowers stop blooming... My one complaint about LA. I can avoid traffic, but there is no escaping my floral allergies!
So, we started this weeks DBC with a bang! Everyone was able to pack lunches and have some snacks on hand. Even at my bible study (which provides a potluck dinner) had a great detox friendly kale salad. I did try a couple of the other salads, but the kale was great!
One of our staples in this journey is organic Almond Milk or Coconut milk (unsweetened). I had come across an article about an additive in milks that I didn't realize I was drinking or even should care about for that matter... (Carrageenan). So, instead of telling you all the reasons you should not have this in your dairy free milk. I am simple going to post a very easy video on how to make your own Almond Milk.

Or Coconut Milk if you prefer!

I haven't tried doing this yet. But, I may in the near future.
Starting your morning with a vegan protein shake with one of these milk substitutes, some fresh berries and a dash of vanilla or almond extract makes for a great breakfast on the go!
I have my Green Goddess or Raspberry Almond Torte for breakfast each morning this week.
