FALL is HERE....which means soup season in our household!  Our family favorite...Joel's Minestrone Home made soup!  We make tons of it and eat it all week long and the second batch goes in the freezer for later.

   Joel's Classic Minestrone Soup - Serves 4

• 3 tablespoons olive oil 
• 1 leek, sliced 
• 2 carrots, chopped 
• 1 zucchini, thinly sliced 
• 4 ounces green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces

Additional tips I do:
1) You can add any additional herbs you like too 
2) Top soup with raw spinach salad, soak it into broth to get some extra greens
3) take 1/4 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice in bowl, pour soup over it
4)  Add some pre-made ground turkey (or chicken) to soup for extra protein

Great reminder for all you who have been around for a while and for those just starting the 30 days 

1. Eliminate the 9 things (wheat/gluten, dairy, yeast, sugar, alcohol, vinegar, caffeine, soy). 

2. No eating between meals - meals are every four hours (do not go longer than 6 hours or you willput your body into "store" mode.) You can drink water, fizzies, herbal tea, alkaline broth all day.click here for broth receipe

3. ALWAYS eat in the proper proportions: 1/3 or more veggies, 1/3 protein, 1/6 good fat, 1/6 good carbs. (You need to eat each meal in these proportions to make the hormonal balance work - don't skip fat and carb even when your meal is a shake). Eat slowly, thoughtfully, don't overeat.

4. Replace any meal with a shake for convenience.

5. Drink a recovery shake 1/2 hour after any vigorous workout. (include extra carbs like 1/2 banana)

6. Don't eat after 7pm. (you can drink a 1/2 cup almond milk with fiber if you're hungry after7pm).

7. Get to 7 hrs of solid sleep to help the detoxification process. Your body will go into stress-mode if you don't get enough sleep & that means you'll store more toxins = weight gain.

8. Detox Tea 1 hr before bed to help your kidneys/liver detox & you'll sleep so much better!

9. Celebrate the little victories, little changes you're making will amount to BIG changes later!Remember: it takes 21 days to stop bad habits & 28-30 days to reinforce new healthier habits.

10. Know your body & how you feel. Make the SHIFT towards living a Health & Wellness lifestyle

Benefits of Sugarcane

Benefits of Sugarcane:
Sugarcane is a form of grass that is native to the regions of warm temperate climates & tropical ones. Sugarcanes have a stout, jointed and fibrous stalk, which can measure 2 to 6 meters in height. They are grown in over 200 countries. Brazil is the largest producer of sugarcane in the world, followed by India. Apart from being the source of sugar, sugarcanes are also consumed in the raw form. The health and nutrition benefits that result from eating sugarcane, in the raw form, are listed below.

Health & Nutrition Benefits of Eating Raw Sugarcanes:

• Sugarcane, being low on glycemic index, helps keep the body fit and healthy.

• Sugarcane juice has been found to be very beneficial for preventing as well as treating
sore throat, cold and flu.

• Since sugarcane has no simple sugar, it can be enjoyed by diabetics without any fear.

• Being alkaline in nature, sugarcane juice helps the body in fighting against cancer,
especially prostate and breast cancer.

• Since sugarcane is rich in carbohydrates, it can help the body feel invigorated and
revitalized quickly.

• If you have been exposed to heat and physical activity for too long, drink sugarcane juice.
It will help hydrate the body quickly.

• Sugarcane is believed to strengthen stomach, kidneys, heart, eyes, brain and sex organs.

• Sugarcane juice is an excellent substitute for aerated drinks and cola.

• Sugarcane clears the urinary flow and also helps the kidney to perform its functions
smoothly.

• Sugarcane juice has been found to be good for those who are suffering from febrile
disorders.

• Sugarcane juice is said to speed up the recovery process after jaundice.

"Sugar cane is an unrefined sugar and contains nutrients and minerals that are beneficial to the kidneys, liver and brain. Because it is unrefined it has a low glycemic index. Table sugar is a refined sugar from the cane. The refinement process (similar to flour bleaching) strips the beneficial ingredients and picks up unnatural chemicals like phosphoric acid, sulfur dioxide and formic acid which are harmful."

Almond Joy Protein Shake ~instead of the candy!

It's that time of year where most people achieve weight gain due to one thing, not being mindful!!  

Don't fall into all the candy snacking because everyone else is!  Dare to be different and stay on track!

Instead of the candy...  drink a YUMMY & HEALTHY Arbonne protein shake to cut the cravings and beat the downward spiral!

ALMOND JOY PROTEIN SHAKE 

1 scoop Arbonne Chocolate Protein Powder

 1 scoop Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder

 1 scoop Arbonne Fiber Boost

 ¼ cup raw organic almonds OR 2 tablespoons raw organic natural almond butter

 ¼ teaspoon organic coconut extract

 1 cup organic original unsweetened coconut milk

 Ice

Just a TIP of mindful thinking:

In the Fall, when the leaves start to turn, we tend to FALL into indulgences and lose control.  Stay in control and be mindful of the excuses we start feeding ourselves!  The candy in October tips off the spiral of stinkin thinking ...ya know all those reasons we tell our self, it's ok to eat unhealthy this month but really ends up being...October - December AKA the downward spiral.

Here is an example of the stinkin thinkin and downward spiral we create for ourselves = Excuses:

October Stinkin Thinkin: Halloween candy and Fall comfort foods and drinking kicks off PLUS Football games etc = social   

November Stinkin Thinkin: - Oh well its Thanksgiving, next month.  

December Stinkin Thinkin: oh well it the holidays, I have all these social parties and festivities with friends, co-workers and family, next month!  

Come January, we feel like CRAP and have gained 10+ pounds!  

Be mindful and stay in control using better choices!  Come January, you will be glad you did!

PROTEIN PANCAKES

Something we make weekly in bulk & the entire family,YES, including the kids are:

PROTEIN PANCAKES

We have a special Anzelc Clean Eating Recipe, so consider yourself lucky, 

getting in on the hubby's tricks in the kitchen. ENJOY!

Recipe:

2 scoops of Arbonne Chocolate Protein Powder 

1 cup rice flour

3 tablespoons tapioca flour

1/3 cup potato starch

1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of xantham gum (your gluten free binding agent) 

2 eggs

3 tablespoons of canola oil 

2 cups water

This recipe yields 1 batch = roughly 10-12 pancakes

For Bulk to freeze~ Double the batch, store in large zip lock baggie

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix or WE PREFER to SIFT, the rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, baking soda and         xantham gum.  Then stir in eggs, water and oil until well blended and a few lumps remain.

2. Heat a large, well-oiled skillet or griddle over medium high heat.  Spoon batter onto the skillet and cook       until bubbles begin to form.  Flip, and continue cooking until golden brown on bottom.  

Can use the Arbonne vanilla protein too, or a mixture of chocolate and vanilla and add blueberries, banana's, strawberries or anything you want, but I think you will find that these are scrumptious as is!  We LOVE the chocolate pancakes and sometimes we splurge for the kids and drop 4 chocolate chips into the pancake on skillet while cooking.  THEY LOVE IT!

Quinoa Cakes with Smoked Salmon

These are GREAT on top of a green salad! ~Tiffany

Quinoa Cakes with Smoked Salmon

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups water
• 3/4 cup quinoa 
• 8 ounces smoked wild Alaskan salmon, diced
• 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs, or substitute dry gluten free quinoa flakes
• 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh dill, plus small sprigs for garnish
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 6 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

****You could even shreds zucchini into these!  I use a cheese grater.

Top with

• 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

1. Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl and spread out to cool, about 15 minutes.
2. To prepare lemon topping:  Combine lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.  The original recipe included sour cream to top with this, but I removed it.  
3. To prepare quinoa cakes: Add salmon, eggs, breadcrumbs or quinoa flakes, scallions, chopped dill, lemon zest and pepper to the quinoa. Using your hands, thoroughly combine and squeeze the mixture to bring it together. Using 2 rounded tablespoons of the mixture for each and keeping your hands damp, form 32 small cakes, about 3/4 inch thick and 2 inches wide, pressing firmly to help them hold together. Place the cakes on a large baking sheet and/or a large plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 6 hours).
4. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Reduce heat to medium. Gently add about one-third of the cakes and cook, carefully turning once with a spatula, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Repeat twice more, wiping out the pan between batches, if necessary, and reducing the heat if the pan gets too hot. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with 1 1/2 teaspoons each lemon sour cream and a sprig of dill, if desired
