Giving Thanks Pre-Workout

  Today's Thanksgiving workout: Straight arm planks - 5 sets of 3 mins each for core strength 5 sets of 3 minute wall sits 30 min brisk walk with Kanga dog This helps me fire up my muscles to burn extra calories today. TIP: Drink lots of water and eat your veggies first at your Thanksgiving meal. Let's give thanks for the food we have to eat, break bread with friends and family, and count our many blessings today and everyday! Rather than stress out about the perfect diet today, it's most important to have our attitude of gratitude. Enjoy all the love that's gone into the making of all the food we eat today. Grateful and giving thanks to you all: my friends, family, community. Love you! xo

Superfood Dessert for Giving Thanks

Getting ready for my Raw Food, Vegan, and Gluten-free Thanksgiving on Thursday, using all whole food and superfood ingredients. Here's a new recipe made with Cashew Kream that is topped with persimmon off a friend's tree. It's then finished with mesquite-lucuma sauce and cacao that's been candied with coconut sugar. This is one of my new favorite desserts, and I'm feeling grateful. What's your favorite Thanksgiving recipe?
