Goodbye August...Hello September!

August … and summer… faded away with a wonderful event this past Sunday.  Again, we took part in Stroll the Alameda and the sweet sounds of Richard Nieset playing classical guitar was only made better by the amazing vintners from Loma Prieta Wines.  A great way to close out a wonderful summer and prepare us for a fall packed with amazing new classes, equipe members and opportunities to ‘design yourself’ here at labarre studios.

Calling all IDEAS! We have a new suggestion box, up at the front desk.  Please keep us fresh by sharing what you would like to see at labarre studios.  Everything is on the table, from massage therapy, additional esthetician services, theme suggestions for drumming, new classes and disciplines, we are always listening and learning from our guests and the old-school suggestion box is just another way to connect.  Of course, you can always email us at info@labarrestudios.com as well!
 
We have received rave reviews on our new express classes and these are a result of listening to you and hearing your suggestions loud and clear.  We can’t wait to introduce our new schedule in September, which includes more morning express classes and new disciplines as well.  Here are just a few of the amazing things you have had to say!

Timing is Everything 
 
One of the most common questions I get while working with women on their health and nutrition habits is “what are the best times to eat?” There are a lot of varying opinions on this, but when you look at the research on meal timing and frequency of eating, it’s pretty clear how to time your meals so they support your body as best as possible. Your meal timing should aim to support steady blood sugar, a healthy metabolism and consistent energy levels throughout the day. Here are some tips to get the most out of your meal timing: 
 
  1. Eat within an hour of waking. This gives your blood sugar and metabolic rate a healthy foundation for the day. Research shows that those that skip breakfast are more prone to weight gain and inability to lose weight. Ideally breakfast would be around 6:30-7:30 am. 
  2. Eat every 2-3 hours. Again, this helps keep blood sugar and energy levels consistent, and helps us from overeating later in the day. Ideally meal timing would look like: 7 am breakfast, 10 am snack, 1 pm lunch, 4 pm snack, 6:30 pm dinner. 
  3. Finish dinner at least two hours before lying down to go to bed. This will give your body a chance to process your meal before resting, so it can focus on restorative sleep instead of digesting your dinner! 
  4. Allow 11-12 hours between when you finish dinner and when you eat breakfast the following day. This helps   support detoxification, keeps blood sugar within range and balances leptin, one of our key “hunger hormones”.

Recipe of the Month:
Açaí Veggie “Thick-Shake” 

 
One of the keys of this “thick- shake” (thicker consistency than your average smoothie!) is steamed then frozen zucchini. Zucchini is in season right now, and this preparation makes them easier to digest. You can’t taste them at all in this thick-shake and would never know there’s a full serving of veggies included! 
 

1 cup steamed then frozen zucchini 
1/2 cup frozen blueberries 
1 pack unsweetened açaí (I like Sambazon)
1 scoop vanilla plant based protein powder 
1 Tbsp almond butter 
1 tsp cinnamon 
12 oz unsweetened almond milk 
Optional: top with raw cacao nibs and goji berries
Blend and enjoy!

How do I even begin to thank the folks who have supported, evangelized and helped build labarre?  I can only do what I do and that is remind you that without you – the incredible guests of labarre – we are without purpose.  Thank you for allowing us to help you design yourself.
 
Happy Days!
