Many of you know i did Beaming Cleanse back in August with great success. I lost 5 lbs that i managed to keep off, regained my healthy habits, and i've incorporated a lot more superfoods into my diet since which has kept my energy levels high. I've gotten a lot busier lately too, and i think these additional superfoods are helping to support my energy and adrenals during this transitional and somewhat stressful/busy time in my life.
Cool News...I'm now working for Beaming...YAY! I'm doing everything from writing web content, to educational ebooks, to recipe development. This week i spent many hours in the 'test' kitchen with our head chef Jesus Gonzalez, Lisa Odenweller (the founder of Beaming), and many hours in my own test kitchen as well. Armed with a wealth of superfoods and supplements, and in a Beaming sort of way, i'm pleased to share my morning smoothie with you today. Get yourself an artillery of superfoods (maca, chia, coconut, mequite, lucuma, and high quality plant based protein powder) and let's get this superfoods smoothie party started!
By the way, we just launched the beaming website (click here for bebeaming.com). We still have a little work to do on it, but i'd love for you to check it out...and if you 'Sign up' on the beaming webpage we'll send you an informative superfood ebook with a handful of winning superfood smoothies, written by yours truly! :)
