Tracy explains watermelon juice is great for you because it is very hydrating and full of lycopene. Nicole says as an added bonus kids love it and may even prefer it to orange juice. A little mint makes it refreshing without overpowering the flavor. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and helps prevent cancer. It also helps hydrate your muscles and repair them so it’s great for using pre and post-workout. Tracy says it even helps her breathe when she drinks it before she goes for a run. Tracy adds black pepper because it helps activate the curcumin that is the medicinal property in the turmeric.
Tracy and Nicole show off the beautiful food sure to feed your mind, body, and soul.
Tracy likes to use the curly kale in her kale salads. Kale is full of nutrients including calcium. Tracy points out that you don’t need to consume dairy to get calcium in your diet. You can get just as much calcium from plants! Nicole shows us how she strips the kale off the stem in literally one second. You can also tear it off as Tracy demonstrates. Nicole massages the kale to break it down. Then, Tracy and Nicole massage in avocado and hemp seeds. The hemp seeds are packed with protein and the avocado has lots of potassium. Nicole points out that we should be mindful of where we source our ingredients. If we get them from great distances, the emissions to get them here are harmful to our planet. Tracy adds some dulse, which is a seaweed seasoning that’s great for your thyroid and adds flavor without adding salt. Lift your spirits at home and try making your own Fruitalicious Kale Salad & a Watermelon Turmeric Slushy with the recipes below!
