Jackfruit Carnitas
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Use a towel to pat excess liquid from the jackfruit, then add it to the pan and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes or until the jackfruit has dried out somewhat.
Add about 2/3 of the spice blend to the pan. Stir and cook for 60 seconds or until fragrant. (Reserve remaining spice blend to season to taste at the end of cooking).
Add the orange juice, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and liquid smoke. Stir to combine.
Simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is cooked off. Season to taste with additional salt, spice mix, and top with fresh lime juice. Serve hot.

Digestion & Stress
Friendly reminder: your body is still overburdened with stress! Poor digestion is making it worse.
Do you experience bloating or gas?
Do you struggle with constipation and/or diarrhea?
Do you frequently have heartburn?
While a lot of these things are common, they are 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥. If you answered 𝐲𝐞𝐬 to any of these questions, your body has added stress from poor digestion.
And it’s a vicious cycle because your body must be in a parasympathetic state (relaxed state) for digestion to take place. So if you’re constantly stressed or stimulated, you won’t digest, and not digesting adds more stress. Yikes!
So how do we improve digestion?
