"Lighten up your life!"
As the sun grows stronger and melts the snow back to reveal the moist earth below, little green shoots begin to poke up from underneath the once frozen soil. Just like mother earth, our bodies need to "thaw" out and "rejuvenate" after the long cold Winter. Throughout Winter, we tend to eat more rich, heavy, cooked foods which keep the body warm and well-fed, but also adds weight and density. The energy of freshly sprouted sprouts will break up this cellular heaviness and help your body acclimate to the warmer seasons ahead.
One great way to "lighten up" your life is to "lighten up" your diet. Blend fresh sprouts into your green smoothie, use them to garnish your soup, add hearty bean spouts (mung, chickpea, lentil) to a stir-fry, or top off a salad with a big handful of sprouts (alfalfa, clover, radish, baby greens).
Another important way to "lighten up" is to detox every Spring!
