Welcome!
Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier and more vibrant you.
We want to take the guesswork out of the next 7 days so you can focus on the important stuff. You’ll see each day of the Refresh organized by tabs. Simply click on a day and it will walk you through everything you need to know… It’s that simple!
We love hearing from you! We are constantly adding, changing and making the Refresh even more delicious, but we can’t do it without your help. If you there is something we can do better or something you really loved something… LET US KNOW!
Here are two important ways you can help us continue to improve the Refresh:
1. Rate the Recipes
A quick and easy way to let us know whether you like or dislike a recipe is by giving it a rating. We use a star system on a scale from one to five. Rate the recipe by clicking on the number of stars you think it deserves. Note: if you see a recipe with a low number of stars, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not a good recipe. Sometimes it just hasn’t received very many reviews so the ones that are there are weighted more heavily. As more people review the recipe we get better information about its quality.
2. Click the Orange Rate and Review Button
At the bottom of the page you will see an orange button that says “rate & review.” After completion of the Refresh, click that button to tell us about your experience. The button will also take you to the finishers form, make sure you click when you’ve successfully completed the Refresh.
Remember the menu is flexible and is meant to be tailored to your individual needs. Feel free to simplify or substitute similar recipes from the “Recipe Resource” section in the sidebar. Focus on enjoying this experience and discover what works for you and your body. The more curious you get about how you feel with or without certain foods, the better you’ll be able to maintain your healthy changes after the Refresh is over. Building healthy habits and LOVING YOUR LIFE is the ultimate goal.
Let’s get started!
You can navigate the Refresh in one of two ways: Online OR Offline. The Refresh was optimized to work on your smartphone, tablet or laptop. Simply click on a day and everything you need will be there waiting. If you prefer to see the recipes in print, we’ve made PDF’s available as well. Many people prefer the digital option because it’s easy to access. Whatever option you choose, we highly suggest downloading the PDF’s as a backup.
If you find yourself with questions or wanting to learn more about eating raw, click on the beginners guide in the menu bar.
One of the unique things about this experience is the strong sense of community. If you have a question or something comes up for you during the Refresh, chances are someone else is currently going through or has already gone through the exact same thing. Don’t be afraid to reach out. We built this community to support each other and the more you reach out and connect with others the more you’ll gain from this experience.
Take a moment here to pause and send yourself a little gratitude for taking this important step towards improving your health. Wherever you are at in your journey, you are an inspiration. To us, to others and to yourself. Thank you for being bold and taking charge of your own life. Your body and mind will thank you.
Happy Refresh!

Prep For Day 1-4
The meal prep sessions ensure that you have quick and easy snacks, simple morning meals and lay the foundation for your afternoon and evening meals. This step is essential in order to guarantee a stress-free and rawtastic week. We don’t want to shake your routine up too much. Having everything ready makes it easy to stick to your healthy plans even after a long work day or when hanger strikes.
Creating new habits takes time. Implementing a meal prep session into your week is an important part of the program. Many Refresh participants rave about how the weekly meal prep session has helped them to maintain their healthy habits long after the program ended.
There are two preparation sessions a week: the evening before the Refresh starts and on Day 4. If you follow a normal work week, if would be Sunday and Thursday evenings.
These are great guidelines if you follow an average work week, but you’re welcome to change the prep sessions to work with your schedule. Sunday evening prep is scheduled to ensure you have an easy start of your work week, for instance, if you’d rather switch it to Monday morning, that’s perfectly fine.
The only thing we strongly suggest is doing both prep sessions instead of making the entire meal each day. This is also a great lifelong habit to create beyond the Refresh; such routines make it easier to eat healthy with intention.
1. Soaking Nuts & Pre-Bagging Morning Recipes
The sooner you start soaking the better. It's great if you remember to start soaking them in the morning, but it’s also totally fine if you are just starting to soak them now; by the time you get to the recipe, they’ll have soaked long enough. If you want to learn more about the benefits of soaking nuts and seeds, head over to the Nut Milk From Soaked Nuts section, within the “Beverages" sidebar tab.
Below is a quick reference list of all the nuts and seeds to prepare today. Store, cover, and refrigerate them in their separate jars and containers.
- 1/2 cup walnuts (soak for 1 hour OR overnight)
- 1/2 cup cashews (soak for 1 hour OR overnight)
- 1 cup of your choice of raw nuts, optional (if you want to make a Homemade Nut Milk)
Time-saving tip: Store your nuts and seeds in the container that you'll later be using for the recipe itself.
[_/su_spoiler]Pre-Make Smoothie Bags
It doesn’t take much time to make a smoothie, but saving even a few more minutes will give you an extra edge over your old morning routine. You have a few smoothies during the week.
After you finish shopping:
- Head to the kitchen.
- View the Meal Plan and see which days have smoothies. Click on the day to get the ingredients list for that smoothie.
- Pre-bag the ingredients for each smoothie.
- Label the bags with their respective recipe name and whatever additional ingredients may need to be added later (liquid, sweeteners, etc).
Quart-sized Ziplock bags work best, but you can always smash or chop greens to fit into a smaller bag.
When labeling the bag, remember to include anything else that you might need to add into the blender with the smoothie ingredients. When finished, place the smoothie bags in the freezer for a hassle-free treat.

Pineapple Melon Chia Fruit Salad
Time: 10-20 min | Amount: Used in 4 morning snacks
Mornings snacks are important, especially if you need a little more food to carry you into the afternoon. These snacks keep your energy high and keep you away from the junk food.
Many of us miss this time of the day out of habit. To make it easy, get your morning snack ready before the day begins. Past reviews have indicated that quick and simple is best.
Your Personal Preference To Fruit, Nuts and Seeds?
Our bodies are unique and learning about your personal preferences is crucial to your health. For example, some people do not react well to eating a lot of fruit in the day, while others thrive. Some do not react well to eating a lot of nuts and seeds. Some gain weight after too many nuts and seeds while others seem to do just great. Eliminating nuts or fruit is not what we are saying (cause that would be terrible on your health), it's about finding the right amounts for you personally. The macro nutrients are balance in the Refresh, this morning snack is a time to learn about fine tuning your needed and adjusting accordingly.
Here's our suggestions to help make it easy. Your goal is to find the morning snack that satisfies you and keeps your energy levels at peak performance well into the afternoon. We suggest making a fruit salad and a chia pudding. Keep them separate and each morning snack add the desired amount of fruit salad into a bowl and top wine the chia pudding. Continue to adjust your portions amounts until you find what keep you satisfied until the afternoon meal. You might find that a piece of fruit is all you need OR you might find that a little extra chia pudding feels better. You might even prefer to forget the fruit salad and go with veggies with zucchini hummus. We are all different and understanding yourself and your personal food preferences is crucial to your health.
Below we have the fruit salad recipe that is included in your shopping list. By all means, if you have a favorite fruit like a pear, apple or grapefruit, grab 1 of those and you're good to go. If you want to save time and be a little easier on your stomach you could go mono fruit and eat a half a watermelon one morning snack and half a cantaloupe the next morning and so on. If you want to just stick to the menu then jump on down below! It's delicious!

Pre-Make Snack Bags
Participants found that having quick access to the daily snacks was a big advantage and really helped to keep them on track, even when it was just a pre-bag veggies.
This step is for you if you’re the type of person who is used to grabbing a coffee or quick breakfast in morning or afternoon; we want to keep your routine as close to your old habits as possible, saving you mental energy and ensuring that you don't miss your snacks.
After you’re finished pre-bagging the smoothie ingredients:
- Go through each day and loo at the snack options for the day.
- Pre-bag the ingredients for each morning's snack in the first 4 days.
- Put them in ziplock bags or small container.
- Label with their intended day and anything that needs to be added later (liquid, sweeteners, etc).
When finished, place the snack bags in the fridge or freezer and you are all set for snack time.
Your morning routine will now consist of grabbing a bag and enjoying it on-the-go. This can replace whatever morning ritual you had before and give you a tasty snack when needed.
[_/su_spoiler]Nut Milk from Soaked Nuts
To make a milk from raw nuts, you’ll first need to choose a nut. Different nuts soak for different amounts of time so be sure to check out the “Soaking Time Chart," Most nuts need to be soaked overnight or for at least a 3-4 hours. Use a high powered blender to process until smooth. Strain and blend with a little salt, dates, and vanilla. Enjoy. Homemade nut milk is soooo much better than store-bought nut milks. just remember since it contains no artificial anything, it goes bad more quickly too. Always smell before you sip!
There are lots of nut milk options, including a quick nut butter alternative to soaking nuts. Head over the the Nut Milks section in the “Beverage” sidebar tab to learn why, how, and which nut or seed milks to make.
[_/su_spoiler]Fruit Salad OR Favorite Fruit
This can be any type of fruit. Berries are a delicious low sugar option but go for your favorites. If you already made the fruit salad and chia pudding during the prep session then you are good to go.
Split it 1/4 of fruit salad and 1/4 of chia pudding and dig in. Adjust amounts to your preference.

1. Start Soaking Nuts & Seeds
The sooner you start soaking the better. It's best if you remember to start soaking them in the morning, but it’s also totally fine if you only remember an hour before. By the time you get to the recipe, they’ll have soaked long enough.
Below is a quick reference list of all the nuts and seeds to prepare today. Store, cover, and refrigerate them in their separate jars and containers.

2. Make Base Recipes
Sprouted Lentil Dip
Time: 10 min | Meals: used in 2-3 meals
This recipe is one of the secrets to weight loss and overall health. The sprouted lentils are alive and full of nutrients. The slow burning carbs keep you full without turning into excess fat. Plus, sprouting lentils reduces the amount of gas produced because the outer shell that protects the bean comes off (That outer shell is what creates the gas.)

3. Optional
Pre-Make Snack Bags (Optional)
Participants found that having quick access to the daily snacks was a big advantage and really helped to keep them on track, even when it was just pre-bagged veggies.
Not sure if you should do this step?
This step is for you if you’re the type of person who is used to grabbing a coffee or quick breakfast in morning or afternoon; we want to keep your routine as close to your old habits as possible. The goal is to save mental energy and ensure that you don't miss your snacks.
Pre-Bagging Snack Steps:
- Go through each day and look at what snacks are listed.
- Prepare the morning and afternoon snack for the last 3 days.
- Put the snacks into a ziplock bag or small container.
- Label the container with the date and anything that needs to be added later (liquid, sweeteners, etc).
Your morning routine now consists of grabbing a bag and enjoying it on-the-go. This can replace whatever morning ritual you had before, leaving you time to create new ones and now you have a tasty snack whenever you need one.

It’s nice to take time in your week to breathe, relax and be present.
Thin Mint Cookies
If you didn't already make them, here's the recipe again. Everything you love about girl scout cookies without any of the guilt. Although, you might want to cut the recipe in half because. The recipe makes enough for two nights but it's going to be hard to stop at just one.

Salad Party
Time: 10-15 min | Servings: 1
A salad party occurs at the end of the week. It’s a great way to use up all your extra produce before it goes bad. Every salad food item is invited to the party!
There might be leftover base recipes after the salad party. That is normal, its hard to fit every type of person and we wanted the dressings (for example) to last into the following weeks so you can enjoy it with other recipes. If you have way to much or to little of one base recipe, please let us know with the orange button below so we can continue to adjust it.
Remember to save the ingredients in the snack and evening meal tonight.
Any leftover leafy greens
Any leftover salad veggies, chopped
Any leftover homemade recipes
Nuts, seeds, and raisins
- Mix it all together and have a salad party!
