Balance Box Basic

 DECEMBER BALANCE BOX 

We've stayed with the basics for December -keeping the simple staples you love.  

The Kitchari and SAMA Soups are warming and grounding, protein packed, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity.  Easy go to's to #findyourbalance after overindulging.  

This Box has 4 smoothies:  Bango,  Dragon, and Good Mood Smoothies. Some like to defrost and drink as is.  Once defrosted, I like to add 8oz of ice in a blender or you can add other frozen fruits of choice based on the thickness you desire. The Goji Balance Balls (oats, almond butter, goji berries, df chocolate chips, honey, flax, chia, hemp,pink salt, vanilla)  are a perfect treat on their own or excellent crumbled onto a smoothie bowl. 

Find the matcha dusted Green Tea with Lemon Verbena and Digest Tea with cumin, coriander and fennel tea.  It's a classic yogic and Ayurvedic tea that can improve digestive health, reduce bloating, enhance nutrient absorption and calm tummy troubles. These spices help reduce inflammation, as well as boosting ‘Agni’ or ‘digestive fire’. And finally, the Hot Tonic Tea with turmeric, ginger, echinacea, elderberry, and lemongrass.  Also this holiday season we include my favorite puerh tea.  It is a green tea that has been fermented and oxidized but drinks more like a coffee.  The holiday flavors make it pair well with Good Mood Mylk. (1 cup of almonds, 4 oz of water, blend and strain through a nut milk bag.  Add 1/8th cup cacao, 1/4 cup maple syrup, splash of vanilla, pinch of pink salt and blend. Froth and add to top of tea.)  So delicious and cozy by the fire.  Puerh has medicinal benefits of green tea plus additional since it's fermented.  

The  Lemon Ginger shot is great on the soups or to add to sparkling water to sip as a mocktail.  This is my favorite way to enjoy it knowing I'll feel great in the morning instead of hungover.
