As the year winds down and life picks up pace, it’s natural to feel a bit stretched during the busy holiday season. But here’s the good news: the food we eat can make a world of difference!
At Beyond Juicery + Eatery, we aim to make fueling your body and mind a simpler part of your routine. Here’s a look at how different food choices can keep stress in check, plus some go-to options from our menu to keep you feeling balanced all season long.
Start with a Mood-Boosting Breakfast Skipping breakfast or grabbing something sugary can send your cortisol levels on a rollercoaster. Opt. for a balanced breakfast with protein, carbs, and healthy fats to set a calmer, focused tone for the day. Our Bacon, Egg + Cheese Breakfast Burrito is a great option, giving you protein from eggs and bacon, plus the nutrients from spinach and avocado, all wrapped up in a warm tortilla. Pair it with one of our bottled or raw juices for an extra boost of color and nutrition, making your breakfast even more nutrient-dense and energizing
Go Green for a Natural Energy Boost Leafy greens are a fantastic source of magnesium, which is known to support stress management and improve sleep quality. When you’re feeling on edge, try any of our fresh juices by the cup, packed with cucumber, celery, spinach, parsley, kale, beet, carrot, green apple, pineapple, grapefruit, orange, lemon, cayenne, and ginger. For an added energy lift, try our BJE Energy Supplement — up to 140mg of caffeine that can be added to any smoothie, like our refreshing Dimmer, a green smoothie that brings you the best of nutrient-rich greens.
Choose Antioxidant-Rich Snacks Stress may trigger inflammation in the body, which can leave you feeling sluggish. When stress levels spike, reach for something nutrient-dense and packed with antioxidants to help your body stay balanced. The Mango Passion Bowl is one of our favorites: a blend of mango, coconut, strawberry, and banana topped with passion fruit drizzle, nut butter, and granola.
Get in Some Good-For-You Omega-3s Omega-3 fatty acids play a vital role in brain health, helping reduce stress and anxiety. They also support cognitive function, perfect for a packed schedule. The Spiced Pineapple Revive Smoothie brings the best of both worlds with omega-3s from chia seeds and refreshing pineapple, mango, ginger, and turmeric. Plus, it promotes collagen production for healthy, glowing skin.
Opt. for Protein-Packed Meals to Stay Focused Protein helps keep blood sugar levels steady, which is key to managing hormones and avoiding a mid-afternoon crash. Try the Chicken Bacon Ranch Cobb packed with Arcadian greens, chicken, hard-boiled egg, bacon, avocado, cheddar, red onion, tomatoes, and ranch dressing for 44 grams of protein to keep you full and focused.
