Think of the last time you felt a little heavy or sluggish after a stretch of rich meals or busy days. Your body doesn't need a punishing program to feel more like itself. Sometimes the best reset is simply to go green.
Here is a plan built around fresh greens, easy morning rituals and a few simple swaps.
1. Set Up Tomorrow Tonight
The hardest part of any new habit is the first five minutes of the morning. The trick is to prepare the night before:
- Put your glass of water on the counter.
- Choose your clothes.
- Plan your breakfast.
When the morning is already set up, you're far less likely to hit snooze five times and skip your routine.
2. Pile on the Green Vegetables
Green vegetables are packed with magnesium, iron and chlorophyll. They're a great way to help your digestive system keep working as it should.
Try this:
- Add a handful of spinach to your eggs, soup or pasta.
- Start lunch with a big green salad.
- Keep a bag of washed greens in the fridge so they're always an easy grab.
3. Swap One Drink for Green Tea
Green tea is a simple, warming alternative to your second coffee or a sugary drink. It's known for its antioxidant properties, and it's easy to make a habit of.
Try this: Use a tea infuser, steep it for a few minutes, and enjoy it mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
4. Blend a 5-Ingredient Green Smoothie
This one is quick, naturally sweet and made for busy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- ½ cup frozen mango
- 1 banana
Directions: Blend until smooth.
Tip: Add a little fresh ginger or a squeeze of lime for an extra refreshing twist.
Spinach brings a variety of greens to your glass, and the frozen fruit keeps it cold, creamy and sweet without added sugar.
5. Add Tahua's Plant-Based Support
Healthy habits come first. If you'd like to add a little extra plant-based support to your reset, here are some Tahua options.
Super Green or Super Green Fresh Add a green touch to your glass of water with Super Green, a liquid chlorophyll made with sodium copper chlorophyllins from alfalfa leaves. The label suggests mixing 1 tablespoon (15 ml) in a glass of water. If you like a minty twist, choose Super Green Fresh, made from alfalfa leaf juice and peppermint. The label suggests 1 teaspoon (5 ml) diluted in a glass of water. Keep Super Green Fresh refrigerated after opening and use it within 4 weeks.*
Vibrant A superfood powder or capsule blend of aloe vera powder, alfalfa chlorophyllin powder, tart cherry powder, white mulberry powder, apple fiber powder and peppermint. Take it as directed on the label.*
Spring A food-based nutritional supplement made from whole foods and greens. These include spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, barley grass, dulse, quinoa sprout, papaya fruit, acerola fruit extract and bee pollen. Spring comes as a powder or as capsules. It's made to support everyday nutrition, energy and the nervous system.* The label gives different amounts by age, so please follow it carefully.
Follow the directions and warnings on each label. Check with your healthcare provider first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take any medication, or have a medical condition. Spring contains bee pollen, so skip it if you have an allergy to bee products.
