This workshop is perfect for you if:

-You are open to new things, ideas, flavors etc.

-If you love the kitchen and fabulous foods that are both tasty and nutritious( or open to learning)

-if you are sick of the No-NO-NO  approach to diet, health and detox  & you are looking for a healthy, natural and sustainable way of engaging in foods

If you are very regimented with the way you eat now and "already" have an idea of what you think is good for you

if you are overly obsessed with calories, fat grams etc... ( a little obsessing is ok, but if its how you rule your world, probably not going to be into my class/philosophies)

-if you are easily offended by some f-bombs dropped once in a while or the use of words like friggin, sh*t,crap etc... 

Do know that I LOVE working with people, connecting and sharing foods & ideas. I've got a unique style & approach, usually say things wildly over the top yet usually true etc...all in which makes it way more fun!

I like the atmosphere to be fun, light, and allow for people to be fully immersed, engaged & get a lot of the experience.

Dreamy, Creamy Vitality-NEW smoothie recipe!

I've been blending away the last few weeks and I think I have nailed it!

the perfect recipe using Samis Superfoods Vitality mix.

I am just in LOVE with it right now.

I think you will too!

I've had a few clients over to taste test and the

response was:

"DELISH" 

"FABULOUS"

"I'm so excited to have a new smoothie"

"How could someone not buy this when they taste this smoothie"(gotta love this girl!!)

Here's the deal-(sounds like its a lot to do below but its super easy once you get everything lined up)

NOTE:I'm given you the super specific instructions!

-2 cups Fresh Almond Mylk( yes, I know its a drag but it sooooooooo good for you)

NOTE-If you're not sure how to do it, it goes like this,

1 cup raw almonds ( soaked overnight ) in 3 cups water, blend on high, strain with nut bag or cheese cloth

Investing in a good nut bag will make it much easier , the one I use is from VIVAPURA, check it out here.

I make large batches of the fresh mylk at a time so I have a few days worth

If you'd like to "cheat", I mean, make it easier but not as nutritious on yourself use:

2 cups rice milk, hemp milk, almond milk, So Delicious coconut milk or any of the other store bought brands, remember these are pasteurized so they have very little nutritional value.

-2 cup water or fresh coconut water from the inside of a thai coconut

(again, not the store bought coconut water)

-1/2 cup chia seed gel

 (ok, here's how this baby works, take 1 cup chia place in 4 cups purified water, let soak in glass jar overnight, it will turn into a gel like substance, store this gel in fridge and use scoops of the end product daily in all types of smoothies, puddings, etc....) This process of soaking really makes a difference in how effective the chia works.  It makes it a hella' lot more bio-available, does not bloat the belly, and blends easier making drinks more "creamy"

NOTE- if you don't know, chias amazing for Omega 3, calcium, antioxidants, fiber and is like a natural colon cleanser... so perfect for daily cleaning, no need to go on a "detox" just "BE"cleansing your system daily by using chia=:)

-3 Heaping TB of vitality from Sami's Superfoods

-1/2 frozen banana(yes, take the peels off b/f freezing) or 1/3 bag of you fave frozen/fresh berries

-2 TB of UDOS 3-6-9 oil( by FLORA @ whole foods) or 2 TB coconut oil(my fave is Vivapura)

You also can use one of each as they work more effective together in terms of effectiveness of the Omegas

GOOD RAW FATS are the KEY to health, vitality, longevity & yes, weight loss!

They need to be super high quality, unrefined, & plant based-preferably in glass in a dark bottle.

More info on good fats coming soon but just as a little teaser....

I'm sure you are hearing how "good" fish oils are, right, well, get this 2 TB of UDOS is equivalent to 17 fish oil caps!

thats some super good dose of omegas gettin' in plus its pure!

-Heaping scoop of cinnamon- to taste
I like to load up as it is sooooo good for you!

Real cinnamon helps to regulate blood sugar levels and balance the natural sugars that are in your drink plus it is a super dose of naturally-occurring antioxidants

( be sure to buy ORGANIC cinnamon as commercial spices are laden with yucky stuff!)

Place all in a blender and whip till creamy and dreamy!

Couple options-

-if you desire it a tad more sweet place a couple drops of vanilla creme stevia

-if you feel it needs a little bit more of a "punch" add a pinch of a platinum salt like sun fire salt

-if you'd like it more creamy, add a few TB of tocotrienols( raw vitamin E powder)

-if you need it more nutrient dense, feel free to add in green powder, spirilina, hemp seeds, a handful of gojis any other singe superfoods to create your own designer smoothie!

The above is just a foundation and you can add, edit, delete, play around with the create one that's perfect for you!

Let me know when you've tried it or created your own rendition. Leave a comment below. Would love to hear what you are doing at home!

P.S.If you need Sami's or you need more of it, its on SALE through Aug 31st. 10% off the retail of $45.

You can call or email me( lisa@lisapersico.com) to place an order.

P.P.S.I will be at the Andersonville Galleria doing a tasting with this recipe above if you'd like to come check it out.  Clark/ Foster August 6th 5pm-8pm

Very Exciting NEWS!

My products are now available at the Andersonville Galleria!

One of my incredible colleagues and clients was so inspired by health & wellness in relationship to natural beauty from my lifestyle workshop a few years ago, she created "if a goddess wore make-up"! Long-time make-up artist for weddings and special events for over 20 years, Sheila Hansen switched her focus to natural, green, and healthier options for both skin/body care & make-up! 

After a year of success at the Galleria with the the 'goddess" boutique, she came up with a  brilliant idea to place some of my elite products in her space that focus on inner beauty and compliment what she's doing! 

Alas, a lightbulb went off  for me and it was a synergy meant to happen. All this time, I have been talking about vitamin C, MSM, silica, antioxidants, mineralization, greens, superfoods and how all this affects your health, cleansing & your body but plays a major role in both your beauty and longevity! 

So we've teamed up and now I have a home for some of my amazing picks that enhance your flow and your glow from the inside out!  

Please welcome, Lisa Persico's INNER beauty boutique.

To check out the new space and some of my new featured products, I'll be doing a tasting on July 1st from 5pm to 7pm at the Andersonville Galleria( see invite above for more info)! Some of you have heard through the grapevine that I am carrying the NEW vitality( a new version of bliss). I am pleased to announce it is in and will be sampled on thursday!

Hope to see you there!
