Okay, the 30 day reset!

30 days…

ahhh don’t let it intimidate you!

I feel like the word reset can either pull you in or it can totally scare you off from trying something. After giving Sakara’s 30 day reset a go I feel like it’s more of a re-charge and re-align than anything. It’s not a cleanse where you’re starving half of the day or a diet where you’re enduring boring and tasteless meals. **Side note, the word diet around here doesn’t always fly, I much prefer eating for nourishment and intuitively listening to what my body needs, ya feel me? The 30 day reset is more like a professional chef decided to hand deliver nutrient dense, creative, filling and healthy meals to my door every week. These meals support immunity, gut health and your metabolism. Along with the meals the Sakara 30 day reset also comes with lots more goodies to aid you in feeling very very good that I’ll get into below.

**If you’re curious about how I got into Sakara life and their regular meal plans I have another blog post on Sakara’s signature meal plan which was my introduction to “The Sakara Life” here.

I do have a great discount code from Sakara life if by the end of this you feel Sakara is something you are interested in trying!

Let’s get to it! What’s included in the Sakara Life 30 Day Reset?

Sakara life’s 30 day reset has a rotating plant based meal plan each week, along with wellness essentials! I love this because the meals are always something different and seasonal aka ZERO food boredom! Each time the 30 day reset comes around the meals and extra perks are always different which will make joining in the future exciting. Knowing I will be getting something new to look forward to.

All of this was included, in addition to the meals for the round I joined!

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

  • 4 Weeks of creative signature meals (In order to keep cost lower you can opt to do only 3 meals/week instead of 5 which makes the 30 day reset more accessible)

  • Sakara Wellness Essentials, AKA;

    • Metabolism super powder

    • Complete probiotic

    • Organic protein and greens

    • Detox tea

    • NOTE: Each 30 day reset may come with different Sakara Life goodies depending on the theme and products they have out at the time!

  • All new Energy Effervescents (This is a cool example of a new product Sakara launched and added into their 30 day reset so I was able to try it. I love how they incorporate all of their wellness products into this program)

  • Gifts from the program partners: This reset had a free membership to o__pen an amazing meditation and mindfulness app along with essential oils from campo beauty which smelled so yummy.

  • A program guide with journal prompts to keep you on track and also inform you about the pillars of the program and how to best utilize your 30 days

  • Community support


THE DEETS & THINGS TO KNOW

  • Sakara delivers twice a week for the 5 day plans so that the meals stay fresh!

  • The meals are all so delicious; I have to say sometimes they come and look a bit strange or different from being shipped but once they are plated and adorned with dressings and such I have not had a meal I didn’t enjoy. They transform into majestic art pieces. I was expecting to at least not like one, but every single meal had such creative flair and I couldn’t stop eating them. Even my mom who is VERY PICKY and usually eats the standard american diet against my wishes LOL loved the meals on the 30 day reset. I found her trying to steal them from me hahahah!

  • THE GREENS: Okay. I love my greens but eating so many of them in salads has proven hard for me, even though I LOVEEE to cook. Somehow Sakara life makes their greens so palatable, i don’t know if they massage them all or lightly steam them, but they are always so damn good and 100x better than when I make my own super green dishes haha!


Sakara Life 30 Day Reset: Show Me the Meals!

Here are photos of a few of my favorite dishes from Sakara’s 30 day reset to show you the variety and deliciousness you get on the reset!

Five herb pesto pasta

wild rice and miso salad

Spiced sunset stew with coconut lime chickpeas

Super tasty; green lentil penne with spinach, tomatoes + butter beans. The superfood spotlight of this meal were the herbs in the pesto aka marjoram, sage, basil, mint + cilantro!

This dish was so beautiful and delicious! Tons of greens mixed with wild rice, carrots, toasted sesame + shallots! Miso is a fermented food which helps the good bacteria in your gut grow stronger.

This one was fun and I LOVE anything chickpea! Filled with brown jasmine rice, purple carrots, kale + coconut oil.

 

Autumn Abundance Salad

Cookies + Cream Parfait

Electric Body Bowl

This gorgeous and tasty salad with raspberries, mulberries, pear, butternut squash, pecans and so many more goodies over a bed of magic greens

This was such a treat! created uniquely with black beans and cauliflower this breakfast tasted like desert. Just like I like my breakfasts! Some many great ingredients including the powerhouse cacao for a boost of energy and digestion.

SO UNIQUE; this bowl touted green tea-infused brown rice noodles, a medley of beauty-enhancing cruciferous veggies, and Barùkas—a supernut packed with antioxidants and omega-3s. my tastebuds were never bored thats for sure!


Let’s REVIEW Sakara’s 30 Day Reset, honestly

I have to say the 30 day reset was fun!

What did I like best? The variety, oh my goodness did I get such a wide variety and so many new ideas for things to try and recreate. For example I am always doing eggs and avocado toast or a smoothie for breakfast most mornings. To have the healthy muffins, parfaits, waffles etc for breakfast was a welcome change and something really fun that I looked forward to.

I think The 30 Day Reset was something that allowed me to connect deeper to my daily routine. I was able to take this time and allow my body the time and space to be nourished regularly. This also brought attention to other aspects of my life such as spending a little time each day in meditation or going for a little bit of a longer walk. It’s a spillover effect. Yes we are starting with nutrition and the goodies sakara gives you but taking care of yourself starts to expand outward from there into every aspect of your life. This is what I loved. I already am a fan of routine; I wrote a whole e-book on my favorite morning soul nourishing recipes and activities. So the 30 day reset was like a full, day, full body hug.

I also felt very good. Sometimes I don’t eat as many raw greens (aside from smoothies) so this was a great way to get them in. Some of the dinners with ALOT of cruciferous veggies did say hello to my digestive system, but after the 30 days I was feeling pretty great overall in a holistic way. Not the same as if I were to do a juice cleanse and get that 3rd or 4th day high. This feeling from the reset was more of a balanced and grounded feeling which I can lack sometimes…hello vata constitution (ayurveda) and my tendency to go go go sometimes.

PROS:

The convenience - Having your meals already made and not having to worry about shopping or spending time cooking was great!

The extra goodies - I really enjoyed the open meditation app. It helped keep me excited to try a new meditation every day.

The length - Habits aren’t formed overnight and I enjoy having a month where I can focus on nourishment. I already do this in my day to day life, but this felt like a celebration of that.

Mindset / No CUTTING OUT - We don’t cut carbs, we don’t cut sweeter tasting foods, we have the weekends off, we don’t DEPRIVE ourselves. We NOURISH and this is why sakara works for me. When I’ve restricted myself in the past it always ends up backfiring so I no longer do this and haven’t for years. It’s unhealthy for our bodies and minds. Sakara’s 30 day reset encourages eating whole real foods that taste so good and supports a healthy mindset around eating!

The variety - LOVED how unique and flavorful each meal was. The creativity is unparalleled.

The ingredients - Sakara Life is all organic and plant based. They truly use ingredients that heal you from the inside out; everything is organic, most meals are packed with ingredients that have antioxidants, metabolism support, digestive aid and beauty enhancing ingredients. You don’t have to worry about any funny business or weird fillers/additives!

The quantity - Sakara Life does not skimp on their portions. I feel like every meal keeps you full and I even had some leftovers. You feel extremely nourished. I know this is one of the more expensive meal services out there and they definitely deliver with the amount of food they give you.

CONS:

Price - The only con I truly see is the price. This is quite a pricey service. I do think you get what you pay for here as the quality & quantity of the meals is truly amazing. However this could be a barrier for some people to give Sakara Life a try! If you are interested in giving the 30 day reset a go but need a little price break I will put my discount code below!

Raw Foods - If you have severe digestive issues or a problem digesting uncooked vegetables, this would be challenging for you as there are a lot of raw veggies included!

Conclusion

I loved it! I think it was great, I enjoyed having the weekend “off” so that I could enjoy a meal with my friends out, or have something usual and comforting and then know that when Monday rolled around I would be back to variety and nourishment. I think this is such a welcome alternative to liquid cleanses and a really great way for someone who may be new to health and wellness to dip their toe into a healthier lifestyle. This gives a wide range of modalities…nutrition, meditation, community and more! I think what a great way to start a wellness journey OR to just double down on your current one.
