As the spring equinox graces us with its renewal, I’ve embarked on a journey to elevate my well-being by focusing on nourishment, hydration, movement, and sleep hygiene. My exploration into nourishment led me to the transformative work of Dr. Brooke Goldner and her hypernourishment smoothies. These smoothies, true game-changers, boast a powerful composition of 75% densely packed dark leafy greens—think kale or spinach—25% vibrant fruits like frozen banana, mango, and pineapple, and a generous sprinkle of chia or flax seeds. The magic happens as I consume the entire blender full of this nutrient-rich elixir throughout the day, offering a perfect interlude between my whole food plant-based meals. This not only satiates the cravings my body harbors but has become a beloved and energizing snack for my family as well. The spring equinox serves as a poignant reminder to align with the rhythms of nature, and through this intentional focus on nourishment, I feel a profound sense of renewal and vitality taking root within.
