August Balance Box

Your August Balance Box has some of my favorite things to make a savory, well- balanced bowl.  Your turmeric cauliflower rice is arriving fresh.  Toss it in the freezer if you want or use it within 5-7 days.  Use a little ghee (recommend!) or olive oil to heat it on the stove top for a couple minutes.  You want to keep it crunchy.  Add as much Himalayan pink salt as you like.  After defrosting the falafels ( chickpeas, chickpea flour, parsley, cilantro, salt, cumin, coriander, cardamom, ) either preheat the oven to 400 degrees or heat coconut oil in a wok to 350 degrees to fry for 3-5 minutes.  If baking, heat a large, oven safe skillet over medium high heat and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes.  Then bake at 400 for about 10 minutes.  Add the falafel to the cauliflower rice with Ume plum cabbage and cucumbers for a balanced meal.  Ume bosh vinegar is a tart,briney fermented vinegar with many health benefits like aiding digestion, boosting the immune system, and potentially reducing the risk of certain diseases.  Its a great way to pickle any veggie quickly!  My kids love the "red stuff".  Red cabbage is a must add to everyone's cancer prevention diet!  It's being studied for causing apoptosis of several of the major cancer cells.  

This months box has SAMA's matcha dusted GREEN TEA w lemon verbena.  It's a new trial and not labeled as matcha dusted but it is.  Matcha is green tea leaves ground into a powder.  It has 10x more health benefits than drinking the tea alone.  Add a splash of your Lemon Ginger shot if you like. I take my green tea with lemon and honey.  

Some staples in the box as always: SAMA Soup (red lentils, tomatoes, ginger, turmeric, garlic, shallots, olive oil, salt) and Kitchari (white basmati rice, split mung beans, carrots, spinach, and healing spices).  Ojas Juice; Liver Repair Juice; and Good Mood Smoothies.  

Starting in September 2025, the subscription comes with a monthly Q&A/health and wellness discussion.  MORE DETAILS TO COME

I like to do a vision board during this time of year.  I put it on my home phone screen and on a wall in my bathroom so I see it every day.   I use a mood board app called Morpholio Board to easily screen shot images on my phone and transfer them to my mood board.  I love to have this digital copy to keep track of my years and the progress the visualizing helps to bring to fruition.   It's amazing really.  

Wishing you all a wonderful fall season!
