There are a few things that are almost certain to make me feel good, whatever my mood may have been earlier. A good run and some good food, and then getting to be with my Forest makes it the perfect combo. Times when I feel lethargic or grumpy, I'll go on a nice run, I make it challenging but relaxing and for me it's a great way to get out any negative energy and more times than not, I feel much better physically after as well (and mentally). One of the hard parts can be just getting out and actually doing it. I don't yet have any good tips or tricks for making myself, I just don't let any excuses get in the way and I go out and do it. After, I come back and always enjoy a smoothie or juice, and here are two of my favorite recipes lately.
Smoothie: (on left)
1 cup strawberries
1 frozen banana
1 orange, peeled
1 cup water (or coconut water)
Ice (~4 cubes)
Optional add-ins: 1 cup spinach (leave out for a pretty pink smoothie), 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
Throw all ingredients into a blender, blend until smooth.
Juice:
3-4 Kale leaves
1 sweet apple
2-3 stalks celery
Half a cucumber
Juice from half a lemon
Chunk of ginger
Wash vegetables and then put through a juicer. Pour into a jar, add juice of half a lemon, gently mix and enjoy!
