Listening to our bodies & five things to be grateful for!

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Andrea Cox

I decided to juice it again until dinner! I find so much freedom when I “LISTEN TO MY BODY”! I had been trying the 80/10/10 thing again and honestly found myself on a sugary high for the last 24 hours and my body said “PLEASE listen…no more sugar, just for a day”! I started the day off with prayer and meditation followed by a trip to The PAC (Pacifica athletic club) AKA “Princesses addicted to cardio:) I always take a “Elixir tonic” to the gym to get my workout on!
I came home and had the water from a young coconut (blood transfusion in a glass) along with about 34 oz of spinich, parsley, fennel, carrot, beet, cuke, celery juice….DEVINE! People always ask me “Andrea, do the green juices really taste that good?” “YES, THEY DO” I always reply! I find that I crave juices over most anything these days!

Beets are stellar for the liver!

I ran errands and visited with my friend Gita! When I came home, the Tahini was calling my name! “Come and eat me, make me into something yummy…please”!
I had a huge salad with half a jar of homemade kim chee from a local farmers market, on top of one of my mammoth salads with cuke, radish, edible flowers and purple scallions! I followed it with my Divine Tahini dressing (see recipe section). This was truly a work of art! I took a celery stick to scrape the bottle of dressing and trust me if my head would have fit in the bottle, I would have licked it clean…so yummy!
I ended the meal with my “coconut bacon” and a few tahini/carob truffles!
