welcome to balance box
We're so happy you've chosen to #findyourbalance with the Balance Box subscription! Your September box will have things that are cooling for the hot month ahead.
Cool Aid Juice is the ultimate cooling treat and hydrator for hot temps or hot seasons of life. The shatavari is a great supplement to add for cooling on the daily or to help balance hormones at any stage of life. Along with aloe and lime, both cooling foods, this watermelon refresher is a must during the summer.
Liver Repair Juice is a great tool to balance the liver after overindulgence. Parsley antioxidants help prevent liver damage and improve liver function by reducing inflammation and preventing cellular damage. And that's just one liver loving ingredient out of 6.
Good Mood Smoothie is our #1 best seller for a reason. It packs a protein punch with bananas, almond butter, and almond cacao mylk. Add a little coffee and some adaptogens like ashwagandha, maca, and cordyceps and your have a nutrition powerhouse that truly induces a good mood.
SAMA Soup is a red lentil soup that is the best plant based source of protein and resistant starc. Resistant starch can increase the number of healthy bacteria in the gut, which can help reduce fat in the liver.
Kitchari is stock full of healing herbs and spices, including ginger and turmeric, to combat inflammation. Add as much water, pink salt, lemon or lime to the soups as you like.
PItta Bath Salts are cooling with rose essential oil, red kaolin clay, and Dead Sea salts. Use as a scrub first and then soak for 20 minutes. Don't worry- a magic eraser will remove the red from the tub, I promise. Great for those prone to hot skin issues such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne.
Hot Tonic Tea can be served hot or cold with lime and honey. Choose lime during the hot months for its cooling properties. Sip this super anti-inflammatory tea first thing in the morning or as you take your Pitta Bath soak.
Goji Balls are a sweet, protein, superfood treat to enjoy without guilt!
Green Chili Lime Chutney goes well with a gf flat bread, omelette, rice or cauliflower rice, turkey meatballs or falafel.
Meditation for the Month: Sit up in bed immediately upon waking. Do 10 minutes of alternate nostril breathing followed by 10 minutes of visualization meditation. See, hear, breathe, smell, feel as though you are living your ultimate dream life. This is a fun one! If this seems daunting, do 5 minutes of breathwork and 5 of visualization, working up to 20.
