That little action developed into a ritual. Sage mixed her way among combinations of leafy greens, berries, ginger, turmeric, and plant-based milks every morning.
She remembers it beginning as an experiment. “I expected not to really enjoy it.”
She found that a cold, colourful smoothie could feel luxurious as well as healing. It was more than just filling a health box; it became a meditative ritual for her morning, a time to inhale and fuel herself before the daily craziness.
She observed the change in a few weeks. “My stiffness was less.” My skin seemed to be clearer. And I was not depending on caffeine just to get by.
Eventually, one smoothie habit motivated other changes including less processed food, more movement, improved sleep.
All began, though, with a blender and some frozen berries. She beams, “It’s funny how something so basic can change everything.” ” One sip at a time.”
