What is the Golden Hour?
So, I think we all know how beautiful golden hour actually is,
right? It’s that first hour before sunrise or that last hour
before sunset, where the air is filled with a flattering golden
hue. 60 minutes twice a day, this happens. For me, golden
hour is a sense of calm and this moment that makes you just
stop to take it all in and enjoy it for yourself. Golden Hour is a
feel-good smoothie pop up shop serving all things clean and
organic. The kind of ingredients you can feel good about.
Golden Hour was created for guests to just stop, whether it
be for a minute or two or even an hour. To remember to take
time for yourself, to feel good, and to care for your body.
Who are the individuals behind Golden Hour?
Just me, Miranda! I’m a one-woman show over here with a
wonderful group of supporters who continue to encourage
me along the way!
Share a little insight into the nutritional value of
your clean ingredients and menu choices...
I strive to use only organic fruits and vegetables because of
their lower pesticide residues. I also strive to find the best
organic clean products, and when I say clean, I mean the
fewer the ingredients the better. Just because something is
organic doesn’t always mean it's healthy, so I’m always
scouring the ingredient lists to be sure everything is as clean
as possible. As far as the nutritional value to my menu
choices, there are countless health benefits, so if I had to
choose one to highlight it would be bananas!
Bananas are the key ingredient in my smoothies and I also feel
like they sometimes have a bad reputation for being too high
in sugar, so this is a good one to talk about. I’ve been
following Dr. Anthony Williams aka The Medical Medium for
some time now and have read his countless books. He
reminds us that bananas are made up of fiber, pulp, and even
water too. Their fruit sugar content is the reason bananas
have rich supplies of antioxidants, vitamins, and other
phytonutrients to help us fight disease. Bananas can help
reduce anxiety and depression; they improve the liver's ability
to absorb nutrients, and my personal favorite, they are an
important brain food!
