Let’s Get Started!

Pillar 1. Internal NourishmentBeauty has to emerge from the inside out, so your dietary choices and digestion are a primary influence. The way you eat is a critical factor in determining the vitality of your beauty.

Mash all ingredients together. Apply to clean skin. Wait 10-15 min-utes and rinse well with warm water. You can use this mask two to three times per week.

Pillar 3. Peak Beauty Sleep:Your sleep rhythms are an essential component of Radical Beauty, and this pillar will outline numerous tips and tools to enhance this important part of your life. Carbohydrates increase the level of tryp-tophan in your blood, helping to promote sleep.

The hearty root vegetables in the below recipe for Cardamom Sweet Potato Pudding contain muscle-relaxing potassium and are a whole, complex carbohydrate. Cardamom is a warming spice that is be-lieved to help promote digestion.

Cardamom Sweet Potato Pudding 4-6 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 medium sweet potatoes½ cup coconut milk (plus a little more if needed)¼ tsp. cardamom Pinch of sea salt ½ tsp. lime zest

DIRECTIONS

Cook the potatoes in water until softened and tender, about 25 min-utes or so. Afterwards, run cold water over the sweet potatoes, and peel off the skin. Add into a blender with the coconut milk, carda-mom, sea salt and lime zest and blend until smooth.

Pillar 4. Nature:

Balancing the ElementsThis Pillar focuses on how to live closer and more in tune with na-ture, which helps bring out your natural beauty. You will learn how to align your energy with the larger natural rhythms of nature by shifting your daily patterns in accordance with the solar and lunar cycles and the seasons.

The classic Ayurvedic healing dish, Split Mung Bean Kitcheree, is easy to digest and assimilate, and includes the elements found in nature and in our bodies: water, earth (the root veggies and lentils) and fire (the warming spices). This mild version of kitcheree, with-out hot pepper, chili or excessive oils, is generally good for all body types.

Split Mung Bean Kitcheree3-4 servings

INGREDIENTS

4-6 cups water (depending how you “soupy” you like your kitcher-ee)½ cup yellow split peas

Pillar 4. Continued...INGREDIENTS

½ cup brown rice1 cup sliced cabbage2 carrots, sliced1 cup cauliflower florets2 Tbs. coconut oil1 inch fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced thinly 1 Tbs. cumin seeds ½ tsp. powdered turmeric ¼ tsp. cardamom powder Sea salt, to tasteOne bunch of cilantro

DIRECTIONS

Heat the water in a large pot along with the yellow split peas and brown rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Cook for about 20 minutes, then add the cabbage, carrots and cauli-flower and cook for another 20 minutes or so.

In a separate pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat and begin to add the ginger and cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds turn me-dium brown, add the turmeric and cardamom.

Add the whole mixture back into the cooking pot. Season with salt to taste. Ladle into bowls and top each bowl with a handful of fresh cilantro before serving.

Pillar 5. Beautiful Movement:This Pillar will delve into the best ways to move your body to promote natural grace, tone, and beauty, as well as which forms of movement are aging and should be avoided. And, to move, the body requires protein. It’s easy to get more than enough protein from plant foods, including green veggies.

The tempeh in this Plant-Powered Protein Lettuce Wrap recipe is a fermented food that is a great source of plant protein, which adds density to this easy to prepare dish.

Arrange the lettuce leaves on a plate and spoon a third of the tem-peh-veggie mixture into each of the lettuce wraps. Roll each lettuce wrap up, burrito style, to eat.

Pillar 5. Continued...

Pillar 6. Spiritual Beauty This Pillar is all about how self-love, heart-based living, and a peace-ful mind foster natural beauty from the inside out and increase your natural glow and magnetic presence.

Chronic anger, worry, and fear are as acidic and inflammatory to your body as refined junk food. This gluten-free hot cereal is pac-ifying. It can help soothe the tendency for fiery irritation, helping you better connect with your inner calmness, which is your true essence.
