Reporting back after a 5 Day Cleanse 😆
The Green Tea, real-life wellness from ah.mi.
Hi there!
Sending out our first edition of The Green Tea from my 40’s - feeling older, wiser, and when this goes out, likely mildly hungover :). Yesterday I shared my top 10 Lessons from My First 40 years, you can read it here.

The truth about Kroma’s 5 Day Reset Cleanse (I just finished it!)

🍵 Read & Listen:
Lisa shared on the ah.mi chat that she felt very productive after decluttering her home using the tips from Mel Robbin’s Podcast “How to Declutter Your Home: 5 Tips That Actually Work.” Mel says, “this is decluttering like you’ve never heard it before, designed to make your life easier, your mind clearer, and your home more peaceful.”
If you haven’t read it already, we put together a full recap with the inside scoop on Goop’s annual In Goop Health summit, read it here: CONFIDENTIAL: ah.mi's Backstage Pass to In Goop Health.

🍵 Product Recs:
Kroma Wellness 5-day Reset
I just completed the Kroma 5 Day Reset and although it was hard, I feel amazing. Full disclaimer: I did drink a cup of coffee every morning, have a few cocktails, and some (many) handfuls of Christmas candy throughout the reset despite Kroma’s tips for success including avoiding coffee and alcohol during the five days 🫠.

The truth ~ I definitely feel leaner and very energized. You can eat lean protein (pairing chicken, fish, or steak with the bone broths) with the Reset so it is NOT like one of those old school juice cleanses where you feel totally depleted.
For those who are busy and on-the-go constantly, the Kroma Reset is amazing because I felt like it was one less thing to think about throughout the day. It comes with little numbered pouches (pictured above) that you bring with you each day to mix with hot water. I LOVED Kroma’s bone broths - I will definitely be ordering those after the Reset to have on hand.
On ah.mi chat on Substack, Elizabeth gave her helpful tips since she has done the Kroma Reset a few times! Paid subscribers can access ah.mi chat below.
Below are some additional details about the Reset from Kroma’s site:
The Kroma 5-Day Reset is unlike any detox or cleanse on the market. Each day consists of 60-70g of protein, 10 nutrient-rich, deliciously satiating meals, snacks and beverages. Our revolutionary program is customizable, as easy as “just add water”, and works seamlessly into your lifestyle so that you can show up fully in all aspects of your life. Average weight loss is 4-6 pounds without starving yourself.
Primally Pure Natural Deodorant
Erin has said the natural deodorant from Primally Pure is life-changing. The company is female-founded by Bethany McDaniel who “purged her bathroom cabinets of anything with toxic ingredients and she got to work formulating her own replacements with ingredients straight from the farm.”
Erin prefers the unscented, but I bought the Blue Tanzy scent and love it. Glenn has been using the Charcoal one and says it’s amazing (he sweats a lot). Here is a link to all the options.
The Men’s Essential Bundle is on our ah.mi Gift Guide and makes a perfect gift. Primally Pure stared creating non-toxic candles which look amazing - this Warm Citrus Spice Candle would make the perfect holiday hostess gift.
🍵 ah.mi Eats:
1. Bone Broth Rice
On a recent episode from the Well podcast with Arielle Lorre, a guest raved about Arielle’s recipe for Bone Broth Rice and said that it is now the only way she makes rice. Instead of cooking your rice in water, you use bone broth to make it more flavorful and nutrient-dense.
Ingredients:
1 cup jasmine rice
1.5 cup bone broth (I like chicken - you can use vegetable broth if you’re vegan) also, if you want a lighter flavor, do 3/4 cup broth 3/4 cup water
2 tbsp ghee (use olive oil for vegan)
salt to taste
Directions:
Rinse rice until water runs clear (maybe controversial but I don’t always do this, I like when it’s sticky 🤷🏼♀️)
Combine rice, broth and ghee in a pot and bring to a boil
Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes
Turn heat off but leave covered for another 10 minutes to steam
Stir, add salt and enjoy!
Such a good base for nourishing fall bowls.
2. Olive Garden-inspired Minestrone Soup
Korey shared this minestrone soup recipe that is packed with veggies. Korey used ground beef instead of Italian sausage, or you can skip the meat and make it all veggie. There’s a bunch of ingredients, so it’s a good one to make on the weekend and then have on hand throughout the week.
Get pre-chopped veggies to save on prep time. The recipe includes a slow cooker option to make things easy (we have this beautiful Dream Cooker from Our Place on our Gift Guide if you are in the market for a new one ~ currently on sale!).
