"Awakening" purple juice drink recipe; boost your energy!
sc name="Affiliate Disclosure"]
I was dragging this afternoon. My first thought was SUGAR!!, but I immediately changed my mindset to 'what does my body ACTUALLY need?' Yeah, I still have sugar cravings sometimes. I’m human just like you. But when I stalled my knee-jerk reaction in the kitchen, I had the space to really let my intuition guide me. What my body really wanted was hydration, minerals, electrolytes, and phytonutrients. Obviously 😜
Not to gloat Sugar, but my body wins again! Today’s score... Me: 1 Sugar: 0
If you need a pick me up some afternoons, reach for this juice drink instead of a soda, coffee or energy drink. Packed with superpowers (a.k.a. nutrients), you will feel so much better after guzzling this purple beauty.
I call this a "juice drink" because it's not a pure "juice" as it is not made in a juicer (I use my trusty Vitamix). And it's not really a smoothie. It's almost a juice but with all the great fiber from the fruits and veggies.
If you have a better name for it, then leave a comment! I need some help here, my other choices were "Juice-With-Fiber" and "Purple-People-Eater"... 🤣
Awakening Purple Juice Drink
The best caffeine-free, (refined) sugar-free, pick-me-up for those afternoons when you feel sluggish. Really light, almost like you juiced it, but you didn't. All the fiber is still there.
3/4 cup cucumber
1 leaf kale
1 lemon (roughly peeled and chopped)
1 inch piece of ginger
1 stalk celery
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1.5 cups water
1/2 cup Goodbelly Pomegranate & Blackberry probiotic juice (or any other juice)
Mix everything together in a Vitamix or high powered blender for at least 2 minutes. Then sip and relish in the subtle energy boost you are about to feel.
So next time you feel sluggish in the afternoon, take a hot minute and really ask yourself if you need that sugary-rich food item you are reaching for - were you not just the other day vowing to get "swimsuit-ready"? Or if you really need that 2nd or 3rd cup of coffee... at 4pm. That probably won't make you feel so amazing at midnight when you are still tossing and turning in bed from a caffeine overload.
Slowing down and really asking yourself what your body needs is powerful. Often, we react so quickly to our cravings or hunger that I'm surprised we don't have more cases of "snacking whiplash"!
And now you have a go-to, delicious, energetic drink to add to your Pinterest Board of "Energy-Boosting Healthy Snacks" or "Amazing Smoothies I Can't Live Without"!
Cheers!

What it's like to work with Leah
Kim Morrow
I am so much more conscious of what I am putting into my body and I actually feel really empowered and good about myself by saying no to the foods that are not good for me. At Dinner the other night, my husband and kids kept asking me to try one french fry or one bite of their dessert, and I just smiled and said 'no thank you'.
Marisa Lonic
With 20+ post partum pounds, I was looking for a program to help me. I was blown away working with Leah. I lost 9 pounds, felt less tired and formed healthy habits that are now j7st part of my new normal.
Jonelle Fernandes
My whole adult life I have struggled with eating healthy, never really feeling satisfied and giving in to very unhealthy choices. Leah is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge and support when it comes to nutrition. It is because of her programs that I am FINALLY eating healthy on a regular basis! I feel the best I’ve ever felt, I have more energy, better sleep, less inflammation, better skin, and a better mood! Not to mention, I lost 11 pounds and the weight is continuing to come off!
