My lifestyle is a series of daily habits and routines. From the things I eat to my daily skincare routines and even my workouts, I thrive on my rituals. One thing I can say is consistency creates results and it’s never to late to start a healthy habit. On that note, here are three things I drink to look and feel my best.
3 Things I Drink to Look and Feel My Best
- Warm Water with Lemon (check out my blog 5 reasons to Drink Warm Water with Lemon Every Morning for the recipe)
- Athletic Greens AG1: Last year I did something I never thought I’d do. I stopped drinking Amazing Grass Wheat Grass supplement. In it’s place, I started drinking Athletic Greens AG1. As many of you know, I have been drinking wheat grass daily for well over 10 years. So why did I switch? Well, it’s simple. I’m always trying to make my supplement routine as efficient and effective as possible. When I realized I could replace both my daily vitamin and wheat grass with one product but also get added prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, superfoods, adaptogens, digestive enzymes, minerals and more, it was a no brainer. And I must say, after drinking wheat grass (which tastes a bit earthy) for so many years, the passion fruit flavor of AG1 is a tastier option. For added benefits, I like to add my Roots Apothecary inflammation, ashwagandha, and immune boost tinctures to my drink.

3. Beet Juice: Beets have antioxidants, help lower blood pressure, and are a good source of potassium, iron, folate (a B vitamin), vitamin C, magnesium, zinc and other minerals. Beet juice can also improve your stamina, so it’s great to drink before working out! Check out my beet juice recipe below.

FAQs:
Can you use a blender or food processer? Technically you can, but it’s not ideal. For starters, blenders and food processers aren’t designed to extract juice. With a blender, you’ll end up with something that has more of a smoothie consistency. That means you’ll have an extra step to strain the juice. You would also need to peel and chop your fruits and veggies whereas with a juicer you don’t have to peel and with some juicers you don’t even have to chop much.
What juicer do you use? I have the J2 juicer from namawell.com. With a price tag of $550 it’s definitely an investment piece so I’d only recommend this if you’re an avid juicer. I had a Breville juicer for at least 8 years that served me very well. I like that Breville has several different models and price options, so it’s a great starter juicer for someone who isn’t ready to spend too much.
With that said, I’m very pleased with my Nama juicer purchase. With my Breville juicer, I had to manually feed my chopped fruits and veggies one at a time into the juicer, but the J2 allows me to add my veggies into the chamber all at once so I don’t have to chop as much (e.g. I can add an entire apple into the chamber). The J2 is also much quieter than my old juicer. But most of all, I love that since it’s cold pressed, I can make juice up to 48 hours in advance (72 hours if I’m pushing it) vs. my old juicer that needed to be consumed the same day. This is a game changer for my busy mornings!
