What to "Eat-In-A-Day" To Shed Inflammation + Clean Hot Coco.
Start your 2025 with a plan. Swap out pantry staple items and discover which ingredients to avoid. This week, grab access to many tools that will help you shed inflammation quick!
It’s 2025 and things in our life only change once we enable different habits. The coffee you make every morning…it’s a habit. The chicken you buy at the grocery…it’s a habit. The amount of water you drink in a day or the amount you sweat are all habits that are created in your daily routine.
If you continuously grocery shop the same, make the same meals - you will ultimately feel the same. In the past two days, my most frequent DM on instagram is… “can you show me what to eat in a day in order to lose inflammation?” Why, yes! Let’s start the new year with some very good insights that can help you better understand clean eating.
What is clean eating? Eating foods made with real ingredients that your body can recognize and digest. 90% of the food sold in grocery stories today did not exist 100 years ago and neither did the chronic diseases that exist today. Food and Health are connected but no one has ever taught us this. It has been disguised as calories, fat, carbs and protein instead.
How to begin a clean eating journey?First, you have to believe it works. You need to see the light. You need to find someone you resonate with. If you depend on a friend to do it with you — you will fail when they fail. You have to find an expert in the field that has results. I quickly scanned through the list of my former clients with inspiring stories to share. If you feel like any of these symptoms below, here is the light you need to see!
Next, avoid avoid these ingredients. Now that you know the ingredients to avoid, (which by the way, when you have the list of swaps — you do not need to memorize these ingredients!) next, you will need to know how to make your coffee clean because it is likely how you begin the day. I provided a video + recipes for your coffee swaps. If you drink tea…switch to this brand (code: wakeup) because it contains the healing powers of real ingredients.
Third, you need a plan. Below — is a plan, for a day. I selected recipes that did not take a lot of time and also consisted of a small amount of ingredients. I would encourage you to find clean meats, seafood and stock up on staples - bread, tortillas, condiments, rice, etc.
Directions: Blend all ingredients together at high speed. Be prepared
for an intense and delicious green smoothie! You can swap the fruit out for peaches, pineapple, cantaloupe - whichever sweetness you prefer. You can also swap out the greens for romaine, spinach, etc. However, I LOVE this recipe as-is.
Chicken Salad Sandwich Serves 2
1 medium avocado

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, mash the 1 ripened avocado with a fork.

You have the power to control how you feel. If you do not like the way your body feels, it is your body “talking to you”. Listen. Give it what it needs. You never know how good you feel eating clean until you start. I hope this message helps you start!! I am cheering you on…
Awesome 👏 👍🏻😋
Do you have a coffee brand to suggest that offers espresso pods?
