It is that time of year again. People are starting to get the bug to clean, moving the furniture, getting the garden ready, dusting the floorboards, and all the other tasks to get the clutter out your life. But have you ever thought about doing the same thing for your gut?

We all want to have less clutter and junk weighing us down in our visual life so why not do that for our body. Get rid of what is literally weighing you down and not helping you at all. When our gut is not working properly, we hold on to toxins, undigested foods, and our cells don't get the vital nutrients needed to run a healthy body. While we are clearing the house out let's clear our gut out.

The first thing we need to do is get the gut clear of what is holding it up. Making sure to get good fiber sources in daily will help you move things along and give the other toxins that we will be pulling out of the body somewhere to be eliminated. Some tasty and easy sources of fiber include broccoli, berries, avocados, apples, dried fruits like figs, prunes and dates, nuts like sunflower seeds and almonds, and even potatoes like sweet potatoes, red and purple potatoes, and even the good old white potato keep the skins on for the best fiber content. Keep the preparation healthy and simple for all of these and let the wonder of nature help you feel light and free.

If you are in a hurry, like most of the world these days, we have a quick, easy, and nutrient packed breakfast shake combo for you with our Dream Protein + Greens First. This is a full proof way to get all the fiber, vitamins, and nutrients to start your day off right and keep you going without weighing you down.
