“I would dread waking up in the morning because my energy was so low. I’d anxiously wait for nap time so I could sleep -- only to feel worse when I woke up. I felt nauseous most days and had digestive issues. Migraines were something I had learned to live with.”
Can you relate? 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
Chloe goes on…
“I was at a very low point in my life, and hoped to be able to feel even slightly normal again…
When I started working with Rachel, things changed so quickly for me. I was shocked when I realized that I wouldn’t just feel “normal” again, I would be thriving! ..
I had believed that motherhood automatically came with feeling awful and having low energy. That has completely changed for me - all of my symptoms are gone and I have so much energy now. Rachel has hugely impacted not just my life, but my family’s as well! We are so thankful.”
If you’re a young mom with low energy levels—things can change for you too. You CAN have VIBRANT energy levels that keep up with your kids! 💪🏻🎉🙌🏻😮

Here it is… 👀🙈🤩
For a LONG time, I have posted about this amazing beet soup I love called borscht. I eat it every month multiple times, if not weekly.
It is originally made in Slavic countries, and being that my dad travelled to Russia and Ukraine over 80 times total while I was growing up—it naturally became a favorite in our house.
With this soup, I have converted multiple beet-haters into beet-lovers.
With this soup, I have converted many soup-passivists into soup-addicts. (And I made up a new word along with it!) 🍲
So, while there are many EXCELLENT recipes out there, here’s my very own rendition.
BORSCHT:
Serves: 6-8

•1-1.5 lbs 100% grass-fed chuck roast, stew meat or ground beef

•4 cups organic beef broth (chicken broth works as well)

•1 large onion 🧅 , finely diced

•6-8 large cloves garlic 🧄, finely diced

•1 TBS sea salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and a dash of cayenne or red pepper flakes

•1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ tsp dried thyme)

•3-4 large beets (or 6 small ones), peeled + chopped into ½ in. pieces

•3-4 large tomatoes 🍅, diced

•3 large carrots 🥕, chopped into ½ in. pieces

•½ of a small cabbage 🥬, finely shredded (roughly 2-3 cups)

•½  TBS fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)

•3-4 TBS fresh dill, finely chopped (Fresh is best!!! Or 1 ½  TBS dried dill)

•1 1/4 cups tomato purée 

•1 cup filtered water

•Optional toppings: a drizzle of olive oil for extra healthy fats; sauerkraut; a dollop of avocado oil mayonnaise, plain yogurt or sour-cream)

Instructions:

1. If using roast or stew meat, preheat the oven to 375 F. Combine the beef, salt and pepper, beef broth and thyme into an oven safe stock pot. Cook for 1 hour.  While the meat is cooking, sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat 3-4 minutes, until slightly translucent and fragrant. Set aside. If using ground beef, add it to the onions and garlic and sauté until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
