#1: Start Soaking NutsThe 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 on the website.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 cup walnuts, soaked 1 hour to all day• 1/4 cup dried apricots, soaked 1 hour to all day• 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked 1 hour to all day• 1 cup dry chickpeas, place in glass container cover
and soak for 8-12 hours on counter or fridge. (these will be sprouted for a salad on Day 4)
• 1 cup of your choice of raw nuts or seeds, 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.
#3: Pre-make Smoothie BagIt doesn’t take much time to make a smoothie, but saving even more will give you an extra edge over your old morning routine.
Steps To Making Smoothie Bags:
1. View each day of the week to see at each morning smoothie.
2. Pre-bag the ingredients for each morning smoothie.3. Label the bags with their respective recipes 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, ensuring that your creations will be extra cool and hassle-free.
Week 2

1. Click the tabs at above to see each morning’s snack.2. Pre-bag the ingredients for each morning snack in the
week (you can double some of the morning snacks so that you only need to prep four snack bags).
3. Put them in ziplock bags.4. Label with their intended day and anything that needs to
be added later (liquid, sweeteners, etc).
#2: Kitchen Appliances Ready Having all of your utensils and kitchen appliances ready to make your recipes will help speed things up. Here’s the list of everything to pull down and have ready to use when the time is needed.
