That LIME! I think this was my favorite breakfast of the week, though Friday’s pancakes were a close second. I drank all of the mylk upon finishing the cereal so yummy and flavorful. But the sweet thai oatmeal with kaffir lime coconut mylk was amazing. Grace: I immediately tore into the first delivery, hoping that we’d get waffles (they’re the best!!) for breakfast at some point. We committed to self-love (the best kind of commitment, if you ask me). To honoring our bodies, to carving out time for ourselves, to taking a step back and letting our bodies be fully and utterly nourished. When Grace and I committed to a week of Sakara we committed to more than just three organic, plant-based meals a day (sans my beloved snacks) - we committed to the lifestyle. I can’t be around a jar of almond butter or a bag of cashews without mindlessly digging in while I binge on all the social media posts I missed throughout the day. Every night when I’m home from work it’s every woman for herself in the pantry. I used to do it during the holidays when I was still working for BaubleBar and doing my blog and I’d be too busy to cook plus tempted by all the treats in the office.Ĭhristina: I‘ve been working at Sakara for nearly 3 months now (who even KNOWS how that much time has gone by?!) and although I get treated to our delicious breakfasts and lunches while I work, my old snack-till-I-drop habit lives on. I first discovered Sakara back in 2014 (read my first post about it) and like to do it a few times a year if I can swing it. (As I mentioned above I like it better than a juice cleanse as it’s three big, delicious plant based meals) or when I am super busy and know that I won’t be able to cook healthy meals for myself. I love doing Sakara when my body needs a reset. I have been all over the place this summer (and had just gotten home from Cape Cod where I drank a LOT of wine with my family, had ice cream every day, and multiple lobster rolls throughout the week) and felt a little gross. I need my coffee or I’m a bit of an unproductive monster. Technically (I think?) Sakara discourages that but I love coffee and since I did this more for a healthy habits reset (and will always drink my coffee) I did have a black coffee every morning. One more thing to note is that I let myself have coffee. so it was definitely hard to stay “on the wagon,” but I did it, except for one night when the circumstances were dire! I also had a social activity packed week… luncheons, parties, etc. I noticed that when I ate all of my food in between those hours I was a lot less hungry. I’ve been experimenting with restricted eating (I try to eat all of my food for the day between noon and 8pm) and that helped a LOT. I have done Sakara several times before and tended to feel like it wasn’t enough food and get really hungry. I thought it would be interesting to share both of our experiences here. (In the spirit of honesty post Sakara, I had a burger on Saturday night.) I have cut back my meat consumption a lot and mostly only eat fish and sometimes chicken BUT I definitely love a steak or a burger from time to time. A Few Things to Note:Ĭhristina is a vegan I am definitely not. You get three delicious, filling meals every day… feeding your body with amazing nutrients and produce… and while yes you may find yourself a little hungrier than usual, you’ll still feel satisfied. Personally, I find juice cleanses to be really hard to do… it’s hard to spend 5 days subsisting solely on liquids… I need to chew something! This is the best of both worlds. I like it to a cleanse, but with real food. (Deliveries occur on Sunday and Wednesday evenings.) You’ll also receive their beauty water (for morning), detox water (evening) and detox tea to drink in between. Every day, you’ll receive three nutrient-packed meals. Sakara is a plant-based meal delivery service. Just use code TheStripe15! What Is Sakara? Sakara is offering readers of my blog a 15% discount if you want to try it out.
