This is about to be your go-to immune support tea, which you desperately need if you feel a cough or cold coming on. It’s always possible to get sick, especially if you encounter bacteria or viruses, even during the summer. It is warming and contains immune-boosting ingredients, such as lemon, cinnamon, orange, ginger, and turmeric. Don’t worry, you get to sweeten the tea with raw agave nectar, so it won’t be too intense for your palate. If you want to be successful with this tea, we have a couple suggestions:

If you want to make a larger batch of tea to store for later, make sure to strain the tea before serving. That will ensure that the flavor isn’t too intense. Another option is for you to store it in the fridge and use it as iced tea, if you don’t like drinking warm beverages when the weather is hot.

Always choose fresh ingredients if they are accessible. Ginger and turmeric are great in dried form, but the fresh varieties have stronger flavors and higher nutritional content.

Always listen to your body because everyone reacts differently to various herbs and ingredients. You can customize the ingredients in this tea, so long as they are cleanse-approved. If you change out ingredients and add onion and garlic, for example, keep in mind that the flavor will either intensify or change.

Summer translates to carefree fun in the sun, outdoor activities, and social gatherings, but it also invites unhealthy cravings. Foods that people consider classic refreshments, snacks, and desserts rack up excess calories. If the goal is to stay slim and summertime fine, the last thing you want is to accumulate waste in the body. Unfortunately, summer snacks and drinks can easily make that happen. 

That’s where detox iced teas come enter the equation. Sip rejuvenating beverages that enhance hydration efforts and simultaneously aid with flushing harmful toxins out of the body. Regular consumption of these detox iced teas may aid weight loss efforts by increasing metabolism. It’s important to note that drinking detox teas and maintaining an unhealthy diet will not yield positive results. The teas do not simply cancel out poor lifestyle choices and unhealthy eating habits. Losing weight requires a multi-faceted approach, and these teas merely enhance weight loss efforts.

How Can Teas Boost Weight Loss?

One of the primary compounds of green tea leaves is caffeine. It acts as a mild stimulant that works to improve exercise performance and fat burning. According to research, the most impressive aspect of green tea’s nutritional profile is the antioxidant content. Researchers confirmed that drinking green tea works to slowly increase blood antioxidant levels. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the standout antioxidant in green tea and it has been known to boost metabolism. 

In order to burn fat, the body has to break down fat cells and move them into the bloodstream. EGCG works to inhibit an enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine, a hormone involved in fat burning. By inhibiting this enzyme, norepinephrine increases to enhance the breakdown of fat cells. Caffeine may also enhance the efforts of EGCG on fat cells. Additionally, EGCG increases the body’s ability to burn more calories, even at resting metabolic rate. Most studies confirmed that people who drank green tea experienced a 3-4% increase in metabolism. If you follow a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that translates to about 60-80 calories. 

We gathered three impressive detox iced tea recipes that can enhance your weight loss efforts. Sip them throughout summer and let us know how you enjoy them in the comments.

Do you ever want to grab all of the gummy, colorful snacks that are marketed for children and eat them for yourself? Well, we cannot blame you, but you also do not need all of those artificial dyes, preservatives, and other processed ingredients. What if we told you that you could make similar fruit roll-ups to the ones you enjoyed as a child? In fact, you can make healthier versions of those without the added sugars, preservatives, and artificial ingredients!

How To Make Fruit Leather

Maybe you have some extra produce that you need to use up, or perhaps you need a healthy snack to satisfy your sweet tooth. Are you a parent that just wants your kids to enjoy healthy snacks? If any of those things apply to you, fruit leather is the answer. It is very easy to make and you can get creative with the flavors. Although a dehydrator is preferable to make fruit leather, you can also use your oven on the lowest setting. Just keep in mind that most ovens do not go as low as 115 degrees F, which is the temp at which dehydration is acceptable for raw vegans. Anything above that temperature renders the recipe cooked and no longer raw vegan. 

Let’s Get Down To The Basics

The only ingredients that you need to make your own fruit leather are ripe fruit and potentially fruit juice. Let’s go over the steps that you’ll need to take:

• Prep your fruit: Make sure that you wash your fruit, even the ones that you are going to peel. Peel any fruit with a skin and pit anything that has a central seed. Core any fruit with a large core and boil down anything that is very hard; your blender will do the rest of the work.
• Sweeteners: There is no need for added sweeteners for most fruit leather recipes. If you feel that the fruit is too tart on its own, you can add some pure maple syrup or raw agave nectar. Add one tablespoon at a time to the blender and taste until it is to your liking. Naturally sweeter fruits like apples and bananas can also be used to sweeten fruit leather. 
• Gather your tools: You will need a blender, parchment paper or silicone sheets, baking trays (for the oven method), dehydrator sheets for dehydrating, and scissors or a pizza cutter to cut the finished product into strips. 
• Preservation: You want the fruit leather to last, especially if you make a large batch. You can roll the fruit leather up and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two months. Store in the freezer for even longer by rolling the fruit leather in the parchment paper and keep in a sealed freezer bag. 

Success Tips

If you want your fruit leather to remain a lighter color that is similar to the color of the fruit, you can add fresh lemon juice while blending your fruit. This is a great step if you want to use lighter-colored fruit leathers that contain mango, guava, pineapple, peaches, or apples. Thicken your fruit mixture by adding banana or thin it out by adding a little water or fresh fruit juice. If using harder fruits, such as apples, consider boiling them first before adding them to the blender with your other ingredients. 

After you blend your mixture, spread the mixture on the baking sheet or dehydrator tray until it is about 1/8-1/4-inch thick. If you can see parchment paper through the puree, it is too thin. A good rule of thumb is to spread from the inside to the outside of the tray. The outside will cook quicker than the inside, so that spreading method will help you achieve an even layer. Ideally, use the back of a silicone spatula or spoon to achieve this thin, flat layer. 

When Is It Ready? 

The fruit leather is ready when it isn’t sticky and doesn’t indent when you press on it. It should not have the original shine it did when you put it in the oven or dehydrator. Once the fruit leather is fully dehydrated, it is very easy to peel off the parchment paper and you can easily cut it into strips, especially if parchment paper is underneath. Before you store the fruit leather, make sure it is completely dry to prevent condensation from accumulating in the container. Continue reading for a couple fruit leather recipes.

It combines the natural sweetness of dried apricots and Medjool dates with the rich, creamy texture of Brazil nuts. You make these bite-sized treats by blending the ingredients into a sticky paste.

Did you know that in Morocco fresh seasonal fruits are more commonly eaten than cooked desserts. That’s not a bad way to live! Fresh seasonal produce is not only more delicious than out of season produce, but it is also more nutrient-dense. Plus, eating fresh fruit will help reduce your intake of the excess calories, refined carbs, and sugars that are in traditional desserts. To get back to Morocco, though, this recipe is a traditional Moroccan dish that is very easy to make. It is a great combination of fresh citrus flavors with nutty pecans and aromatic cinnamon.

Because the ingredient list is so short, it is your job to procure the best and freshest oranges you can find. Depending on where you live, certain oranges may or may not be available. If possible, do your best to get Cara Cara oranges, which have a mildly pink flesh that is extra sweet. Tangelos, navel oranges, and blood oranges are also great options, provided they are available at your local grocery store. Blood oranges are incredibly striking and make for a visually appealing dish, but using other oranges will not make this dish taste worse or anything like that.

Now, the last important ingredient to be particular about is the cinnamon. Some people prefer cinnamon sold by specific brands, while others prefer specific types of cinnamon. For example, Vietnamese and Ceylon are two varieties of cinnamon that have a well-balanced and complex flavor. Penzeys makes a cinnamon blend of Ceylon, Vietnamese, Korintje, and China cinnamons. Together, those four cinnamons create a beautifully aromatic blend that perfectly complements the sweet and tangy oranges.

Please allow us to introduce you to your new favorite snack: chai-spiced energy bites.

Why are they known as energy bites? Do they take the place of energy drinks or caffeinated beverages?

Plus, the fiber from dates and flaxseed keeps your digestive system functioning optimally, while the omega-3s in flaxseed support brain and heart health. Let’s not forget about the spices, either.

We wish that we could create a delicious donut for all of our raw vegan cleansers to enjoy, but we don’t possess the talent, unfortunately. Instead, we created these cinnamon bliss balls, which help satisfy your sweet tooth while providing you with with healthy fats, fiber, protein, and more. They are not fried like donuts, nor are they baked. All you need is a food processor and the ingredients, plus a little freezer time to allow the balls to solidify.

We are not here to give you a lecture about these bliss balls; rather, we are here to tell you that YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM. Why is that the case? Well, they are just too delicious not to enjoy, especially during your cleanse. When you are cleansing, it is vital to have snacks that fill you up, as you do not want to constantly eat between your major meals. The fiber and healthy fats help you feel full for longer, but be careful to not eat too many of them at once. Due to the almonds, desiccated coconut, and dates, they are calorically dense. If you eat five of them, you’ll be consuming just over 600 calories!

To make these bliss balls, you will need a food processor, not a blender. There is no liquid in this recipe, except the maple syrup, so a blender would not be able to sufficiently blend the ingredients together. A food processor can handle the job! Once the ingredients form a dough-like consistency, you can stop processing and get ready to roll the bliss balls. Make sure to wet your hands with water to prevent the blended mixture from sticking to your hands. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze until solid, and then enjoy.

In a world where calorie counting and intense workout regimens dominate weight loss strategies, there’s a lesser-known pathway that taps into your body’s intrinsic ability to burn fat naturally. Imagine if instead of forcing rapid changes through extreme diets, you could simply support your metabolism with nature’s own toolkit. This fresh perspective suggests that by aligning with your body’s natural signals—and the powerful synergy of herbal science—you can achieve sustainable weight loss without feeling deprived or overwhelmed.

The Body as a Self-Regulating Ecosystem

Our metabolism isn’t just a static process that converts food into energy; it’s a dynamic ecosystem with complex feedback loops. Hormones, enzymes, and cellular processes work together to maintain balance. When this ecosystem functions optimally, it efficiently converts stored fat into energy, supports healthy weight, and even improves overall well-being.

Many modern diets focus on restricting calories or isolating specific nutrients. However, this approach often ignores the harmonious interplay of natural processes within our bodies. What if the secret to sustainable weight loss lies in nurturing this ecosystem? By providing the right herbal support, you can gently coax your metabolism into a state where it naturally burns fat more efficiently—an insight that may reshape your understanding of weight management.

Herbal Synergy: Nature’s Blueprint for Fat Burning

Herbal science offers a multi-dimensional approach to boosting metabolism, one that has been refined over centuries of traditional use and is increasingly supported by modern research. Unlike synthetic supplements that often target one aspect of metabolism, herbs work on multiple fronts, creating a balanced and sustainable effect.

Consider these powerful herbal allies:

• Ginger & Cayenne Pepper: Known for their thermogenic properties, these herbs help raise your body’s internal temperature. This natural heat generation accelerates metabolic processes, increasing the rate at which your body burns calories without the need for harsh stimulants.
  
• Cinnamon: Beyond its role in regulating blood sugar, cinnamon helps maintain steady energy levels. By smoothing out the peaks and valleys in your blood sugar, it prevents energy crashes that often lead to cravings and overeating.
  
• Dandelion Root: Often overlooked, dandelion root supports healthy digestion and acts as a natural diuretic. It aids in flushing out excess water and toxins, which can reduce bloating and promote a more efficient metabolic process.
  
• Green Tea Extract: Packed with antioxidants and catechins, green tea extract not only energizes the body but also helps convert stored fat into usable energy.
  

The secret lies in how these herbs work together. Instead of relying on one single ingredient to spark fat burning, a well-crafted herbal formula can create a synergistic effect—amplifying the benefits of each component and supporting your body’s natural metabolic rhythms.

A Holistic Shift: Supporting Your Metabolism Naturally

Traditional weight loss strategies often rely on short-term fixes that overlook the importance of long-term metabolic health. A more holistic approach acknowledges that your body is designed to maintain balance and that with the right support, it can be its own best fat-burning machine.

This new understanding leads to a transformative insight: rather than waging war against your body with restrictive diets and extreme workouts, you can work in harmony with its natural processes. By using herbal remedies to enhance metabolic functions, you’re not just burning fat—you’re cultivating a state of health that sustains weight loss over time.

Integrating Herbal Science Into Your Daily Life

Incorporating herbal support into your routine doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about making small, meaningful adjustments that empower your body to function optimally. Here are a few practical steps to consider:

1. Morning Boost: Start your day with a warm cup of herbal tea infused with ginger, cayenne, or even green tea. Just keep in mind that green tea contains caffeine. This can kickstart your metabolism and prepare your body for the day ahead.
   
2. Balanced Meals: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that complement the action of herbal supplements. Incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains to provide the fuel that your body needs to maintain an efficient metabolism.
   
3. Mindful Hydration: Adequate water intake is crucial for metabolic processes. Consider adding a slice of lemon, berries, or various herbs to your water for an extra nutritional boost.
   
4. Gentle Movement: Regular, moderate exercise—like a brisk walk or yoga—can further enhance the effects of herbal support. Movement not only burns calories, but also helps regulate hormone levels, creating an ideal environment for fat burning.
   
5. Evening Ritual: Wind down your day with a calming routine. A small dose of herbal support in the evening can aid digestion and help your body transition into a restorative sleep cycle.
   

By integrating these practices, you create a lifestyle that naturally supports your metabolism. Over time, this balanced approach can lead to noticeable improvements in energy levels, digestion, and overall vitality—proving that sustainable weight loss isn’t about drastic measures, but rather nurturing your body’s innate capabilities.

Oh my goodness! Is this about to be the best vegan treat of the holidays? Good tidings and even better flavors we bring to you and your kin. We wish you a happy holidays and an even happier eating experience. This vegan eggnog chia pudding recipe is not only delectable, but also creamy and filled with holiday spices. Unlike traditional eggnog recipes, this one is free of added sugars, preservatives, dairy, and unhealthy fats. It is also alcohol-free!

Sweets are all the rage during the holiday season. Would Christmas be what it is without a cup of hot cocoa and some cookies, or a glass of eggnog? Yes, of course it would! Don’t fall into that classic holiday mentality of “well, I only eat this during this time of year, so it is perfectly acceptable to have it whenever I want it.” Because people love their holiday treats, though, we decided to create one of our own. You can enjoy it for breakfast or eat it as a dessert. There is no wrong way to eat this eggnog chia pudding.

Because eggnog is very creamy and beautifully spiced, it lends itself to chia pudding. The hints of nutmeg and cinnamon almost give this chia pudding a flavor that is reminiscent to a classic rice pudding. Once the chia pudding sets, feel free to top it with your desired toppings. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, add some diced apples or sliced bananas, or drizzle some nut butter on top. Need a little crunch to this recipe? Add some slivered almonds or pumpkin seeds! Lastly, this recipe will keep fresh in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to five days, so you don’t have to enjoy it immediately when it is ready.
