Each Tuesday I do a homemade veggie broth fast. I Each Tuesday I do a homemade veggie broth fast. I don’t eat anything for at least 24 hours (sometimes longer) but I sip this delicious broth and ginger tea. Fasting is a challenge, but it feels really good and it gets easier over time. 
..
Fasting cleanses the body of toxins and forces cells into processes that are not usually stimulated when a steady stream of fuel from food is always present.... Ketosis, another process that occurs later into the fast cycle, burns stored fat as its primary power source.
(For more on fasting.. read this article)

The broth recipe is on the blog. https://www.pureloveraw.com/homemade-vege-broth-fast/

Would love to know if you fast and what you think. How you do it etc. 👍

Ok... these are seriously THE BEST BLACK BEANS!! I Ok... these are seriously THE BEST BLACK BEANS!! I know everyone is trying to get healthy for the new year (yay) and black beans are great vegan protein and complex carb (slow release) to keep you stable and less moody (who doesn’t want that??).. 
. 
And this recipe is crazy easy. 3 cups Black beans rinsed save 1 cup liquid (2 cans is fine Preferably organic unsalted), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 garlic cloves minced, 1.5 teaspoons Adobo spice (Goya), 1 bunch of organic cilantro chopped. 

.
Directions. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add garlic and stir until it turns golden (be careful not to burn). Add the beans, bean liquid and Adobo spice. Cover and turn heat to low. Lightly simmer for 25 minutes. Add cilantro and cook another minute or so. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve.. 

I’ve been seriously obsessed with these beans. I love them on salads🥬🥬 (kale or green) or alongside steamed veggies. 🤗🤗
.
.
Adobo spice by Goya is the key. If you can’t find it or don’t want to use Goya products- I link to a recipe on my site.

I’m declaring this THE YEAR OF JOY AND GRATITUDE I’m declaring this THE YEAR OF JOY AND GRATITUDE!!! Who’s with me?? 😀😀😀😍
.

Starting with a 20 minute meditation (I set a timer) then some form of exercise (when it gets a lighter out). . .
New Year’s Day foods: lentils represent coins so they are great for abundance and wealth. Greens represent luck and prosperity so I’ll definitely make leafy greens, green cabbage = luck and fortune and noodles represent longevity (don’t break them)... 

Happy 2021...❤️

At the end of each year I pick a word to focus on At the end of each year I pick a word to focus on for the next 12 months. Today I chose the word GRATITUDE. 
.
It’s something I’m always striving for as I have a tendency to notice. “what’s wrong”. This practice will help me surrender the negative and search for the good.. 😀👍

Happy New Year! 🥂🥂May your year be filled with blessings. ❤️
