 Just in time for the busiest holiday weeks, I'm sharing my old school and recently vetted fave selects with you! Many of the recipe and online selects are EXCELLENT for when you’re traveling over the holidays (or anytime). As an ongoing part of Optimal Mind Living, I recommend at least one mostly liquid nutrients day: Bulletproof coffee, plant-based, protein shakes, blended green veggie smoothies, hearty soups, bone broths, etc., every week (or more when needing a wee reboot). A mostly liquid nutrients day can be especially helpful at holiday party time when many of us are feeling less than our best, consuming more calories, carbs and caffeine, running around town more and getting less sleep than usual, On those days of your holiday events and/or the day before & after, go liquid until 5PM. Consider one of my below DIY or grab n' go breakfast, snack and lunch faves, This way, when you go out at night, you’re hydrated, nourished and can enjoy even more fun holiday foods and drinks without worrying as much about the additional carbs n' calories. See below to understand what I mean by a mostly liquid day. Liquid does NOT mean processed. * Nutrient dense = Optimal Mind Body Protocol: Allergen Free - NO: Gluten, dairy, grains; Low Carb - must have fewer than 8 grams total sugar per serving; Healthiest Fats - grass-fed ghee, coconut oil, flax and/or olive oil. DIY / MAKE YOUR OWN OMB Protein Shake OMB Blended Greens OMB Quick Energy Soup RECO: Traveling? Call ahead and share my recipes with your hotel chef! Have a pot of tea temp water & one sliced lemon and/or a pitcher each of OMB Lem and OMB Blended Greens sent to your hotel room at your wakeup call. While sometimes they may, I’ve not yet had a hotel say no!  GRAB 'N GO Juice Press (can also order from Seamless.com) - While some of these selects are old school Marcus A! is keeping up and adding new faves constantly! Soul Garden is STILL my fave, organic, LOW sugar juice blend. Juice Generation - I love the Supa Dupa Greens w/ ½ apple, extra lemon n’ ginger. Whole Foods - My go-to juice here is Evolution Fresh: cold-pressed veggies w/ no added sugar. RECO: Stock up and sip between meals when you're needing more green veg and/or hydration on busy days. ORDER ONLINE! NEW! Amazon lists - For your convenience, I am in the process of vetting best products, retailers and prices on Amazon.com and creating "Idea Lists" so all my recommended faves in each category are easy to order. These lists will be published and updated regularly as will my Faves Pages. Kettle & Fire Bone Broth is a multifunctional and highly beneficial must-have in your pantry, as well as a staple of my Optimal Mind Body Program. Seamless.com delivers SO many healthy faves now: Juice Press (see above) AND NEW! Le Pain Quotidian Chef V - My clients & I get our organic, locally-sourced, green juice & cleanses from Chef V. Mucho less expensive, mas delish and lowest in sugar (2 grams per serving) compared to all other other options I've researched. It's amazingly convenient (delivered to my door). When ordering juice cleanses from Chef V, use our code REBOOT when checking out for 40% off! RECO: For travel & having handy when on the go, order several non-perishable cartons of the bone broth, protein shakes and other OMB Healthy Travel Faves PLEASE SHARE YOUR FAVES WITH US!
