My morning routine posts are all over the place in the archives, so I thought I'd put together a summary with links and nutritional information.
Of course, as I've stated repeatedly, I am not a morning person. My routine honestly starts with a giant cup of coffee.
There are two schools of thoughts on coffee. Some think it is full of antioxidants and such, like chocolate. I tend to like those arguments.
Others thing coffee is not so great, especially for those of us with adrenal issues. I don't care. I need my coffee!
After sufficient coffee has occured, I go on to lemon water with vitamin C, though not enough to make Linus Pauling happy.
I drink my lemon water while I make my vegetable juice spiked with ginger and turmeric roots, from stuff prepped the night before to make it easy on a non-morning person.
I drink the juice while I clean up the juicer bits, then make my broth concoction with chicken broth, coconut milk and sea salt.
nutritional summary of my morning routine
- 400 mg vitamin C
- 3 cups of "greens" ala Wahls
- 2 cups of "coloreds" ala Wahls
- daily cup of bone broth
The whole process takes around a half hour, if in a hurry I can even do it in 15 minutes. And it gets me a bunch of nutrition before I've ever eaten a thing.
