Chill out with this calming ashwagandha drink

Stress is an inevitable part of modern-day life, and especially now more than ever. Constant stimulation from technology, long work hours, and trying to maintain our health can all add to our stress levels. By building in simple habits, we can help combat these everyday stressors, which left untreated can lead to a more serious long-term impact on our health. We’ve come up with a few tools to help you find your zen.

Plant-based diet 101

A plant-based diet focuses on whole foods and, well, plants! It doesn’t necessarily have to mean you’re “vegan” or any other label. It means you consume a diet rich in whole fruits, whole vegetables, whole grains, whole nuts, and seeds, etc. Most importantly, we are placing whole foods above all else, and limiting processed foods, just like the Clean Program.

Grilled vegetable white bean salad with dill

This white bean salad features gorgeous root vegetables that make it perfect for the transition to fall. We love a hearty salad, and the sweetness of carrots balances well with the heartiness of the white beans. Add some fresh dill and it’s a winning combination!

Vegan citrus olive oil cake

Olive oil cake is one of those desserts that balances savory and sweet perfectly. Our version is rich and subtly sweet, with a touch of lemon to add a bright flavor. It feels perfect as a dessert topped with a bit of coconut cream or even with breakfast, toasted, and topped with ghee. No matter when you eat it, you’re sure to love this simple vegan olive oil cake recipe!

Perfect papaya smoothie (with ginger)

Papaya has a flavor that immediately transports you to a beach vacation. In its prime during summer, the fruit is juicy, refreshing, and at its nutritional peak. This papaya smoothie is the perfect way to enjoy its hydrating properties during warmer months.

Asparagus and garlic quinoa bowl

We love a quinoa bowl as a heartier version of lunchtime salads. You can squeeze in just as many nutrient-dense vegetables, but the grain base helps make the meal more satisfying. You can rotate the ingredients as seasons change, simply using this recipe as a guideline that will work year-round.

Refresh with this citrus pineapple smoothie

The combination of tart lemon, sweet pineapple, and spicy ginger makes this a hydrating blend that you’ll crave during summer months. We used the juice and skin of the lemon to access the full spectrum of benefits and to add a more complex flavor to this pineapple smoothie. You’ll also get an added dose of protein, fat, and probiotics with the addition of coconut yogurt.

Mango cardamom smoothie for glowing skin

The color of this mango cardamom smoothie tells you everything you need to know. Glowing, bright, with a big dose of skin-friendly vitamin A. Smoothies cool us down in the heat and are the original “fast food.” Plus, spices like cardamom come with a slew of health benefits so your body will thank you as well.

Homemade matcha ice cream

We’ve taken your favorite creamy, perfectly sweet matcha latte and turned it into cleanse-approved ice cream. The base is made of avocados, and the result is incredibly decadent and satisfying. Keep a big batch of matcha ice cream in your freezer for those times when you’re craving dessert!

This lentil burger is a recipe for backyard fun

We’ve taken all of the health powers of lentils and wrapped them into this tantalizing plant-based burger. It’s hearty and satisfying just like a traditional meat burger, but completely vegetarian or easily vegan-friendly. Plus, this lentil burger is loaded with fiber, nutrients, and protein to have you feeling your best.
