TIME TO RESETOur bodies thrive in a diet rich in whole foods and founded in plant-based nutrition. Unfortunately, we’ve slowly allowed highly processed foods to invade our pantries and it often goes unnoticed.

This is where a reset is key.

Not only does your physical body need a jumpstart, but your mental health is craving a drastic change. The choices we make when it comes to food are deeply rooted in emotional patterns and subconscious thought, which is why a reset can be so beneficial. Set new boundaries, new goals, and new habits to catalyze your entire body into a healthier lifestyle, which will spill over to your physical and emotional wellbeing.

SMOOTHIESSmoothies offer a concentrated amount of vitamins and minerals making them a great option for anyone looking to reset their diet.

he blended breakfast provides easy to absorb nutrients, which reduces the digestive load.

Foods, such as ethically sourced animal products, can be incredibly high in nutrients, but also require elevated amounts of energy to be broken down. This makes their digestive load quite high and limits the body’s ability to attend to other needs.

In the 7 Day Reset, we’re focused on finding the most nutritious foods that require little effort from the body to be utilized.

This creates an energy surplus that the body can then use to address healing and repair that it may not have the resources to normally attend to.

tipS & trickS:• If your smoothie leaves you hungry you can add 1 tsp - 1 tbsp of MCT oil. (start with 1 tsp as

any more can irritate your bowels.)• Using a high speed blender is recommended but if you don’t have one, make a habit of

blending your fibrous greens with some of the liquid before adding in the remainder of ingredients.

• You can add additional water to any recipe to reach your desired consistency

FUNCTIONS OF FATSFat plays many essential roles in the body. Fat is source of fuel, contributes to satiety, allows for absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, provides protection, is the main component of our brain, and allows for optimal nerve communication. Fat is also the main component the membranes that surround every single cell in the body-- amazing!

SnacksIt’s really easy to forget about good snack food.

The foods that fill in the spaces inbetween, whether it’s between meals or work and a workout.

These times represent an opportunity for convenience to trump even our staunchest lifestyle goals. A snickers bar, a treat from the cookie jar, or any food that has words you don’t understand on the ingredient list– these are the traps we want to avoid and all it takes is a little bit of planning.

• When shifting to a liquid breakfast you may find that you get hungry earlier. Usually this is temporary and after a week or two subsides. When hunger first strikes we encourage you to drink one more tall glass of water.

• Keeping a jar of the Super Trail Mix on hand is a great way to avoid unhealthy snacking while on the go. The three ingredients in this trail mix combine a complete protein, a digestible fat and an energizing compound in the cacao. These three superfoods combine to create an incredibly healthful snack.

FUNCTIONS OF CARBOHYDRATESWhat comes to mind when you hear the word carbohydrate? We often think of pizza, bread, pasta, and baked goods, but carbohydrates also include all of our fruit and vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains. Carbohydrates provide the body with fibre, which optimizes elimination and gut health, boosts serotonin levels, and increases immunity.

Carbohydrates are also the body’s preferred source of energy and contain an abundance of vitamins and minerals. Stick to the whole food sources of carbohydrates and avoid the overly processed and refined products that spike blood sugar and promote inflammation.

SoupsThe beautiful thing about these soups is they can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Plus, if you ever find yourself longing for a hot breakfast, a soup is basically just a cooked smoothie and so makes for a great substitution!

Additionally, these recipes can all be doubled or tripled and stored in containers in the freezer for up to 3 months.

PREPARING LEGUMESPurchasing dried legumes is an extremely economical way to incorporate plant-based protein into your diet. In the 7 Day Reset, we’ve incorporated chickpeas or garbanzo beans, navy beans, black beans, cannellini beans, and lentils. To prepare any of these legumes, first place the dried bean in a large bowl and cover with cool water. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda. The baking soda enhances the soaking process and helps to remove antinutrients, which are natural compounds found in legumes, grains, and nuts and seeds that can inhibit digestion and often leave many people feeling bloated or gassy. Soak legumes for 12 - 24 hours and rinse the well. The beans will have doubled in size after absorbing the water. Add beans to medium pot with fresh water and bring to boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until legumes are tender. To save time, make big batches of beans and freeze for future use.

FUNCTIONS OF PROTEINSProtein makes up all things structural. Nails, teeth, skin, muscles, bones, eyelashes, digestive tract, organs, and cells are all made up of protein. Protein can be obtained from animal products and plant-based foods such as beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, and quinoa. Protein needs are elevated in times of growth, repair, and healing. Providing your body with adequate amounts of protein can help to maintain blood sugar, mental focus, and stamina throughout the day.

SOAKING NUTS AND SEEDSNuts and seeds also contain antinutrients, such as phytic acid, tannins, and enzyme inhibitors, which makes consuming these foods hard to digest. Soaking nuts and seeds helps to remove these antinutrients and increase the absorption rates of many vitamins and minerals, especially the B vitamins. To soak, place desired nuts and seeds in a glass bowl and cover with room temperature water with a teaspoon of unrefined sea salt. The sea salt helps to enhance the benefits of soaking while also helping to retain the hardness and density of the nut or seed. Keep the bowl at room temperature and soak for 8 - 12 hours. The colour of the water will start to change as the antinutrients and tannins are removed. Dispose of the soaking water and rinse well. Do a final rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar to remove any remaining bacteria. You can then sprout or dehydrate the nuts or seeds.

SaladsSalads are a core part of the LULORA diet for much the same reason that we love smoothies: They are easy, customizable, and simply a delicious way to include an array of fresh produce in your diet.

PREP:Soak quinoa overnight. Cut broccoli into bite-size florets. Shred cabbage.

CREATE:Rinse quinoa well and add fresh water plus a sprinkle of sea salt to medium pot with a lid. Keep the grain covered, bring to a boil, and immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook until all the water is fully absorbed (approx. 15 minutes). If the grain was not soaked, cooking time will be longer. Once water is absorbed, leave pot covered and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

While the quinoa is cooking, place vegetable steaming basket into a pot with 10 centimetres of water. Add broccoli and bring to a boil with the lid on the pot. Steam for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is fork-tender. Set aside and prepare dressing.

In a high-speed blender, combine avocado, tahini, olive oil, water, garlic, basil, lemon, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until creamy. Thin with additional water if necessary.

To serve, place quinoa, shredded cabbage, and steamed broccoli in a large bowl. Drizzle with basil avocado dressing and garnish with fresh pepper.
