Are you feeling like your energy levels are running on empty? Do you need a boost to cleanse your body and soul? Look no further – we have compiled a list of 5 soul purifying foods that will give you the energy you need to conquer the day.
1. Quinoa – This ancient grain is a powerhouse of energy-boosting nutrients. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, quinoa will keep you feeling full and energized throughout the day. Try making a quinoa salad with veggies and a lemon vinaigrette for a refreshing and satisfying meal. My daughter added this seed to our diet years ago. Quinoa is pronounced kin wa.
2. Chia Seeds – These tiny seeds are a superfood that can help cleanse your body and provide you with a sustained energy boost. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants, chia seeds can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt for a nutritious and energizing snack. Chia seeds are also used as “chia eggs” for a vegetarian diet.
3. Kale – This leafy green is not only packed with vitamins and minerals, but it also contains detoxifying properties that can help cleanse your body and boost your energy levels. Try making a kale and avocado salad with a tahini dressing for a delicious and nutritious meal.
4. Green Tea – This antioxidant-rich beverage can help cleanse your body of toxins and provide you with a natural energy boost. Green tea is also known to improve focus and concentration, making it the perfect drink to start your day with. Try brewing a cup of green tea and adding a splash of lemon for a refreshing twist. This seriously gives me energy well into the night, so you may want to determine your cut off time.
5. Berries – These colorful fruits are not only delicious but also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help cleanse your body and boost your energy levels. Try adding a handful of mixed berries to your morning smoothie or oatmeal for a sweet and energizing treat. One enjoyable outdoor excursion is heading to a local farmer’s u-pick, where you can pick your own berries. It is rewarding to have that connection to your food and it is great exercise!
For a soul-purifying camping recipe, try making a quinoa and kale salad with chia seed dressing. Cook quinoa over a campfire or portable stove, then mix in chopped kale, diced veggies, and a sprinkle of chia seeds. For the dressing, mix olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and chia seeds together and drizzle over the salad. This hearty and nutritious meal will keep you energized on your outdoor adventures. It is also super quick to make!
While these soul purifying foods are generally safe for most people, it is important to be mindful of any potential side effects. For example, some people may be allergic to chia seeds or have difficulty digesting quinoa. It is always best to consult with a Naturalistic Doctor if you need to.
So, if you’re feeling sluggish and in need of an energy boost, give these soul purifying foods a try. Your body and soul will thank you for it!
