My polar bear wake-up routine I’m up at 6 a.m. before my kids wake up, and I’ll start my day with a shower that ends with cold water for two minutes. It sounds weird, but I feel like I’ve been injected with twenty coffees—it does so much for my energy levels, focus, mood and vitality throughout the day and is a proven immune booster.

Smooth move Next, I’ll create a beautiful elixir with nutbar’s housemade nut milk. It’s a delicious, creamy, organic mix of cashews, almonds, coconut, sea salt, and a dash of maple syrup, and it contains 30 percent nuts—most boxed nut milks only have about two percent. I’ll add coffee from Pilot Roastery or some Genuine Tea matcha, and nutbar’s cacao adaptogen drink blend called Chill Pill. → nutbar, 899 Queen St E
