🧻 Toilet paper, jackfruit tacos, brain dump

Happy Monday my friend,

🧻 Most of us never think twice about toilet paper…but the truth is, conventional rolls are filled with toxins and even made from old-growth forests. That’s why my family only uses PlantPaper, a safe and sustainable alternative. Get an exclusive with code ECL20.

🌎 BE THE CHANGE: Meet Chef Bryant Terry, a food justice activist and chef who’s changing the way communities think about healthy eating. Through his books and community programs, he makes nutrient dense food accessible, especially in underserved neighborhoods. His mission? To connect culture, history, and health on every plate. With flavors rooted in African-American traditions, he’s not just feeding bodies, he’s feeding change.

🥗 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Say hello to Jackfruit Tacos with Mango Salsa. Jackfruit is magic: it shreds like pulled pork, soaks up spices like a pro, and fills you up without weighing you down. Sauté canned young green jackfruit with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic, and lime juice until it’s crispy at the edges. Meanwhile, chop fresh mango, red onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime for your salsa. Stack it all in warm corn tortillas and top with avocado slices. It’s bright, zesty, and perfect for a summer dinner on the porch.

🥦 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: Ever heard of amaranth? It’s an ancient grain that’s gluten-free, high in plant-based protein, and full of calcium and iron. The Aztecs called it a sacred crop. It has a slightly nutty flavor and a pleasant chew, almost like a mix between quinoa and couscous. Use it as a base for bowls, stir it into soups, or even pop it like popcorn for a crunchy topping. A little obscure, a lot powerful.

🧠 MIND: Try this the next time your brain feels like a browser with 32 tabs open: write a brain dump. No structure, no grammar, just scribble every single thing on your mind onto paper. What you need to do, what you’re feeling, what you’re avoiding. It doesn’t solve everything, but it does something powerful: it gets your mental clutter out of your head. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you find clarity when you stop trying to carry it all alone.

🌿 BODY: Feeling stiff lately? Your body could be asking for more magnesium. This underrated mineral helps with muscle function, sleep quality, and even digestion. A magnesium deficiency can leave you sore, tired, and restless. Try adding more leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate to your diet, or soak in an Epsom salt bath. Your muscles will thank you, and you might even sleep better tonight. (Code ROB15 should be auto-applied)

💖 SPIRIT: Ever felt comforted by the moon? There’s something calming about knowing it’s always there, watching over us no matter where we are. Next time you see it full and glowing, take a minute. Step outside. Breathe in the night air. Think of something you're letting go of, and release it. The moon doesn't talk back, but it listens like nothing else can. Learn why the moon may be so comforting HERE!

🧻 A Roll Worth Rethinking

Toilet paper might seem like the most ordinary product in our homes…

But it’s actually one of the most overlooked when it comes to health and sustainability.

Conventional rolls are often bleached, laced with PFAS “forever chemicals,” and made from old-growth forests that are some of the planet’s most essential carbon sinks. Those chemicals don’t just stay in the paper, they make their way into our bodies, linked to inflammation, UTIs, and reproductive issues.

That’s why our family only uses PlantPaper. Made from FSC-certified bamboo, it skips the bleach, dyes, formaldehyde, and toxins entirely. Even the design is thoughtful: oversized sheets that last longer, with a silky side for comfort and a textured side for grip. Soft, strong, sustainable…and safe.

Honestly, we even travel with it, taking it camping, and even to hotels. Because when you realize something this simple touches your body daily, it’s hard to go back.
