Summer Smoothies

It is summer time and that means smoothie craziness in my life. If you are like me, you are looking for a way to lighten the load and stay cool during the summer season. I find so many people gain weight during the summer or feel bloated. During the summer, when the weather gets warmer, so does the body and this can result in feeling congested, having extra mucous in your sinuses and suffering with headaches.

If you are waking up at 2-3 am, the height of the liver time, per the chinese meridian organ clock, then we know you need to cool off. If you think about how hard we work during the day, sometimes it can be hard to calm down at night. Many of us, like me, have kids and that means dinner, bathing the babies and then getting them into bed. By the time it is 8 PM, I feel tired. I used to run to the pantry and eat some nuts, which are healthy but for many like myself, can hamper digestion, so now I make a smoothie and drink half.

Drinking smoothies is a great way to support digestion, cool off the body and support the liver for a good night’s sleep. As I mentioned, if you are waking up in the middle of the night, then you may want to try one of these three smoothies to cool off your jets before sleep. I suggest having half a smoothie 2 hours before you go to sleep as a snack, if you feel you are running to the pantry and eating chips or foods that can harder on digestion.

I am a kick-ass business coach for health and wellness professionals, who are sick and tired of having businesses that do not attract the ideal client or when they do, they do not have a system to teach them. I help them define niche, story, backstory, a system, and a leak-free business sales funnel. I had my own health struggles that lead me to be a health coach and then organically became a biz coach after my struggles and mastered my own leak free business funnel system. I went from making 13k to 6 figures by year 3 and now I am proud to say, I rock a business that feeds my soul, my spirit, and my family.
