5 UNEXPECTED WAYS TO BOOST YOUR ENERGY (PLUS A RECIPE)
Energy. We all seem to need more of it while it seems to escape even the best of us. When it comes to energy sources, the first thought of course is food, with fruits and veggies especially being top of mind these days. But before we put more plants on our plates, let’s explore a few non-food related energy hacks, because what’s the point if you don’t have the proper mental tools to keep you in the game?
THE WEIGHT-LOSS MINDHACK
ne of life’s biggest misconceptions is that a PERFECT DIET exists… and in reality, it NEVER has. Our diet has always depended on our day to day resources; and once upon a time (and still in many places) if you didn’t farm or hunt, you didn’t eat.
ALL ABOUT VITAMIN B
Macronutrients – a.k.a. the big three – are made up of protein, fats, and carbs. Micronutrients, on the other hand, include all of the other important vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. B vitamins as a whole are super essential to overall cell function and DNA production, aka, keeping our body working and healthy every day. There are 8 specific B vitamins, typically known as B-complex: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9), cobalamin (B12).
PUMPKIN SPICE: VEGAN EDITION
We all know what time it is. The air is getting crisp and boots are comin’ out. In other words, it’s pumpkin spice season. We all know how much of a seasonal ritual is to indulge in a hot and creamy pumpkin spice latte, or a delectable slice of pumpkin cheese cake…but how nice would it be to have a sweet treat you can treat yourself to without the richness of dairy and the heaviness that comes with it. Imagine a light and refreshing version of a pumpkin spice latte that you can have as a snack or even a meal. Well, we’re giving you just that!

CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
Sometimes, you just need that satisfying indulgence of chocolate to boost your mood and satisfy your sweet tooth. We’re giving you a recipe for a healthy Chocolate Mug Cake that will make you feel like you’re a little kid at a birthday party (without the sugar rush).
4 PLANT-BASED PULSE FLOURS FOR A HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON
Pulse flours are made from pulses, which are the edible seeds of legumes (chickpeas, lentils, peas, etc). These gluten-free flours are packed with protein, fiber, and are typically very low in fat. All of these qualities make the flour more nutritious and filling, which can help fuel healthy digestion and a strong immune system. Pulse flours also contain powerful nutrients such as folate and iron, important for growth, energy, and red blood cell formation and regulation
TIPS TO STAY ON TRACK THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of summer! As many of us have started to up the sweat sessions and lighten up the grub, it can be tough to keep it consistent with the start of scrumptious summer shindigs.
THE DETOX AND RECOVERY EXPERIENCE AT EXHALE
As you walk into the Recovery class, intensions set and an open mind, you are immediately brought to a level of calm. The class begins with an inward reflection. You are instructed to take inventory of how your body feels. The outside noise is silenced, and little-by-little you awaken the energy from your head to your toes. Throughout the class, the focus shifts from mindful meditation, to active stretching, and restorative foam rolling. Throughout the progression of these healing elements of the class, your body and mind undergo a transformative recovery experience. Muscles are limber and relaxed, the mind is centered and calm, and from the inside out you feel completely restored. Now that the mind and body are set to a state of balance and revitalization, it’s time to apply the elements of recovery to the imperative care of your skin. The Detox Facial offers a very similar experience of awareness that stems from the inside outward. Beginning with the pre-facial moment you have to yourself in the zen lounge, all tension immediately begins to dissipate. Deep breathing and mindful stillness in advance of your detox prepares you mentally and physically for the restorative therapy. Throughout the 60 minute therapy, your skin undergoes a series of cleanses, 3-layer chemical peel, exfoliation a vitamin C mask, and more. Throughout the facial, you can feel the sensation of toxins leaving the surface of your skin. With a combination of soothing steam, warm compresses, and a soothing environment, you have no choice but to fall into a complete sense of tranquility and wellbeing. Both The Recovery Class and the Detox Facial are brand new offerings at Exhale, and both fully encompass the importance maintaining a routine that not only challenges, but restores and revives your wellbeing from the inside out. Toxins, tension and strain inevitably build up within us over time. Taking the time to clean the slate and refresh your wellbeing is a total must.
