Two of our Goddesses – Anna & Cait – have taken to the kitchen to get creative with food for both a healthy meal and a clean beauty face mask to kick off their New Year health goals. The girls have taken inspiration from the paleo diet, eliminating all sugar, heavy carbohydrates such as bread, pasta and rice and focusing predominantly on a plant based diet.

The aim of a paleo diet is to return to eating like our ancestors in earlier times with a focus on whole natural foods – meaning as little processing as possible. The diet's reasoning is that the human body is genetically mismatched to the modern diet that emerged with farming practices of dairy, grains and legumes. The girls are focusing on including and avoiding these food groups:
// I N C L U D I N G //
Fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, protein & healthy fats; such as olive and coconut oil. Avocado, flax seeds & omega-3 fatty acids. Fermented foods; such as sauerkraut and kombucha.
// A V O I D I N G //
Grains, such as wheat, oats and barley. Legumes, such as beans, lentils, peanuts and peas. Dairy products, refined sugar & salt. Starchy vegetables such as potatoes.
Tip: Avoid any highly processed foods in general. If there is an ingredient that you have not heard of or can't pronounce don't have it! Opt for natural ingredients from the earth. Foods consumed in a state as close to nature as possible provide the most nutrients and the greatest benefit to your health.
Most importantly - have fun, be playful and creative with your food!
The girls spent a day focusing on creating healthy alternatives for health and beauty.

After lunch they indulged and relaxed with a homemade face mask. Check out these simple recipes below and try it at home!

This nutrient dense salad is full of all the healthiest types of vegetables which are easily digested by the body and converted into clean energy. When detoxing it’s crucial to focus on eating easily digested foods such as greens, because their rich digestive and antioxidant enzymes help clear out built up toxic waste in our digestive tract which in turn makes us feel so much better.
