My Morning Routine: My Secret To Staying Healthy All Year Round

My Morning Routine: My Secret To Staying Healthy All Year Round

I love reading other people’s morning routines, don’t you?  

A nosey into other’s lives is always fun.

People can tell you what they do in a blog post to lose weight or to make healthy living easier, but sometimes the pieces don’t seem to fit together until you learn how they actually make it happen in their actual life.

So I thought you might like a peek inside my life?


** Please note that this post may contain affiliate links which means that I can receive a small payment if you make a purchase through my links.

Hopefully this will help you to work out how to fit healthy living into your own life a little bit more.  

OK here goes.

My morning routine

I wake up and get the kids ready for nursery.  

Then I do a workout which either involves going for a run/walk outside for 30 minutes or some weight training with my dumbbells – or both if I have more time.

Then I head into the kitchen to take my vitamins and make my juice.

I make a glass of celery juice which I always take on an empty stomach for good digestion.

Then I take all my supplements with a glass of water with a 4-5 drops of either lemon or grapefruit essential oil (therapeutic grade only – I use Young Living).  

Now it’s time for the powders.

I mix up my green powders with a little bit of water and drink those.  I only take the powders that I don’t like the taste of, so I don’t add them to my delicious smoothies or they would spoil them.  

I take 1 heaped teaspoon of barley grass, 1 heaped teaspoon of wheatgrass and 1 heaped teaspoon of spirulina powder.  Sometimes I also add 1 teaspoon of wild blueberry powder and 1 teaspoon of maca for additional energy.    Occasionally I have 1 heaped teaspoon of matcha green tea powder when I’m not drinking it during the day.  (mostly I’m drinking green tea as the weather is cold here) I also take my collagen in the same way. I take 2 tablespoons mixed with a small amount of water.  

I then eat half a brazil nut for my daily dose of selenium, and I have a double shot of Ningxia Red which is an amazing goji berry juice that has done wonders for my health. 

After all this I feel amazing, and surprisingly I don’t feel hungry at all until lunch time due to all this nutritious natural foods which are also natural appetite suppressants.  

I go and get ready, and I apply my essential oils to my feet before I put on my socks.  I usually use En-R-Gee on my feet for extra energy, Thieves in the winter for my immune system, Joy on my wrists because it smells beautiful and makes me happy, and some peppermint or Di-Gize on my stomach for good digestion.  

I then start work in my home office, walking on my treadmill as I write my blog posts for you.  

I often add essential oils to my diffuser too and inhale fresh peppermint to give me more clarity as I work.  Or I use essential oils that are good for the immune system in winter.

So I actually drink my first Green Thickie around lunch time.  I have already made this the night before so I just grab it and continue with my work.  

Yes I take so many supplements that I probably rattle – but when you have previously been as sick as I was, you’d do pretty much anything to continue to feel amazing and full of energy.  To me – you can’t put a price on health!

If you would like to see exactly which supplements I personally take, have a look at my Amazon store in the ‘supplements I take’ category.  I have only added supplements in there that I actually take.  This is not a recommendation for you to take them as they may not be right for you, but it might give you some ideas for ways to improve your own health.  

All I can say is I continue to feel amazing all year round with this regime.  It works for me!  

You can also see the essential oils that changed my life here.

Have a healthy day

You won't go hungry on this diet ... And better yet - it actually requires minimal time in the kitchen.

Get results like this...

Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie

    If I’m understanding you correctly you take collagen? Two tablespoons mix with water. I checked the Amazon list unless I missed it what kind of collagen do you use?
    Thanks
