Day 17: SLIQUE TEA

Yesterday, you learned all about the Slique collection for weight management. Today, I wanted to introduce you to Slique Tea. It’s great for ANYONE – not just those with weight management goals. Why? It’s a great alternative to those sugary, caffeine drinks in the morning, plus it’s rich in flavonoids, a dietary compound generally associated with helping maintain certain normal, healthy body functions. I personally like to alternate between NingXia Red, NingXia Nitro, NingXia Zyng and Slique Tea when I want to drink anything other than water. Slique Tea fulfills my need to have a warm drink in the morning that helps to make me feel energized. 

It’s made with Jade oolong tea, ocotea leaf, Ecuadorian cacao powder, vanilla essential oil and frankincense powder, exclusively sourced from Young Living’s distillery in Salalah, Oman. It does have naturally occuring caffeine from the oolong tea (the same hot teat you have in Chinese restaurants – and the same tea my Chinese mother used to tell me to drink daily because it “cleans you out”), vanilla and cacao (which help to make you feel satisfied), and ocotea to help curb cravings naturally.

Pretty awesome, right? Who doesn’t want Slique Tea?

Day 18: SLIQUE BARS

Love at first bite. That’s what I said when I first tried Slique Bars at Winter Harvest last year. They taste similar to Kind bars in the store, but have way more nutrients for our body. Slique Bars are made with a medley of exotic fruits, and nuts that both tastes delicious and provides a nutritious snack to help you feel fuller, longer. Really, it’s actually been formulated to help you feel fuller and more satieted – thanks to potato skin extract and vanilla essential oil. Plus, there’s a healthy dose of cacao nibs, coconut, wolfberries, and essential oils to provide nutrition. And I love that Slique Bars are sweetened with just a touch of honey. 

Need to satisfy your sweet tooth? Try Chocolate-Covered Slique Bars. YES! They are so delicious and my kids beg for them.

Slique Bars do contain baru nuts, almonds and coconut for those of you with food allergies. Here’s the full ingredient list: Baru nuts, Almonds, Honey, Chicory root inulin, Dates, Coconut, Cocao nibs, Goldenberries, Bing cherries, Wolfberries, Quinoa crisps, Chia seeds, Potato skin extract, Sea salt, Vanilla essential oil, Sunflower lecithin, Orange oil, Cinnamon bark oil.

Day 19: MEAL REPLACEMENT

Do you ever feel you’re so much on the go, you don’t have time to eat? Or by the time you do eat, all your options are just junk food? Well, then you’ve got to check out Balance Complete and Power Meal. These meal replacements from Young Living are specifically formulated to help you feel full and provide vitamin- and mineral-rich nutrition when you’re on the go.

Balance Complete is a super-food-based meal replacement that is both a powerful nutritive energizer and a cleanser. Offering the benefits of Ningxia wolfberry powder, brown rice bran, barley grass, extra virgin coconut oil, aloe vera, cinnamon powder, and our premium whey protein blend, Balance Complete is high in fiber, high in protein, and contains the good fats, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals needed for a nutritionally dynamic meal. Balance Complete also features Young Living’s proprietary V-Fiber blend, which supplies an amazing 11 grams of fiber per serving, absorbs toxins, and satisfies the appetite while balancing the body’s essential requirements. So it helps to energize, cleanse from the inside out and provides a healthy dose of fiber to help you feel fuller. 

Power Meal is a delicious, satisfying, rice-based (vegetarian) meal replacement, Power Meal is rich in calcium, antioxidants and amino acids, and delivers an impressive 20 grams of protein per serving plus a complete vitamin, mineral and enzyme profile. It’s an option to Balance Complete for those who want a vegetarian meal replacement option. It also has a lot of fiber and 20 grams of protein, along with a third of the recommended daily values for vitamins and minerals.

Balance Complete does contain whey and barley grass – so something to consider for those with food allergies.

Day 20: PURE PROTEIN COMPLETE

One of my favorite nutritional products from Young Living is Pure Protein Complete. It is AH-MAZING. It was just reformulated and released at YL Convention last year. What makes it so unique?

Two scoops of Pure Protein Complete contains
-25 grams of protein from rBGH-free whey, goat’s milk, peas, egg whites, and organic hemp seed (this formula is soy free)
-A balance of amino acids, including D-aspartic acid, threonine, L-serine, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, lysine, histidine, arginine, proline, hydroxyproline, cystine, tryptophan, and cysteine
-A proprietary enzyme blend
-Ancient peat and apple extract and a powerful B-vitamin blend, which supports ATP production, the energy currency of the body

The difference between Pure Protein Complete and Power Meal / Balance Complete is that the latter are meal replacements. Pure Protein Complete is a protein shake, not a meal replacement unless you combine the two.

Here’s what I do to get the benefits of both meal replacement and protein:
I just made this delicious protein smoothie with Pure Protein Complete Chocolate Deluxe and Power Meal (meal replacement). I just did a scoop of each with a cup of milk and 4-5 ice cubes and 2 drops of Peppermint to support my digestion. So why these two? I’m stretching my Pure Protein Complete by using just one scoop. And they have a slightly different nutrition profile. Pure Protein Complete has amino acids, enzymes for healthy digestion and supports STP production for energy. Power Meal has protein and enzymes too plus vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium and calcium. So together it’s like one supercharged smoothie.

Pure Protein Complete comes in two flavors: Chocolate Deluxe (try it with a drop of Peppermint) and Vanilla Spice (try it with a couple of drops of Orange).

Share your experience with Pure Protein Complete.

Lube :)

A lubricant can be a necessary ingredient in a couples’ intimate relationship, so why not make it FUN and HEALTHY, too?!!? To start with, most lubricants you buy will be full of unwanted, nasty chemicals that can disrupt our natural pH levels. This can contribute to yeast overgrowth and other health problems. With multiple uses, these chemicals can be very damaging to our health. By itself, coconut oil makes a fantastic lubricant that works great* and is all-natural. But if you want to SPICE things up and try something new, mix up this concoction:

1oz coconut oil

5 drops Sensation oil

2 drops Black Pepper oil

2 drops Peppermint oil

Store it in a glass jar or dropper bottle (fractionated coconut oil works great for this) so that it’s ready when you are! Use as needed and ENJOY!
*Be aware that coconut oil should not be used with condoms as it will compromise the integrity of the latex.

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU CHALLENGE DAYS 11-15!!

DAY 11: 5-DAY NUTRITIVE CLEANSE

Last week, we talked about products and essential oils to support our workouts and exercise. This week, we’re shifting gears to talk about supplements and how they can help our overall wellness. I’ll be honest, I really thought all supplements were the same – whether they were from Costco or my local health food store. Boy, was I wrong! Since I’ve starting using Young Living supplements, I can actually feel the difference when I don’t take them.

So I know what you’re thinking. January is the time when you want to do a cleanse of some sort to jump-start your system. Well, did you know that Young Living has the 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse?

The 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse facilitates gentle and effective cleansing to improve overall health and well-being. A minimum of four, easy cleanses a year with our 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse and continued nutritional maintenance will help balance the extremes of the standard American diet.

Here’s what’s included:
1) Ningxia Red, an energizing, replenishing, whole wolfberry nutrient infusion (1500 ml )
2) Balance Complete, a super-food-based, daily, superfood energizer and nutritive cleanse (26.4 oz.)
3) Digest + cleanse, which soothes gastrointestinal discomfort and supports healthy digestion ( 30 softgels )

I did this cleanse last spring and could not believe the energy I had after completely the 5 day journey. We all tend to have toxin exposure regularly and this simple, yet effective, strategy will keep your body on track and moving towards vibrant wellness.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Who here is ready to take part in 5 days of cleansing? And who’s already done the 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse? Share your experience.

DAY 12: DIGESTIVE ENZYMES

You’ve heard me talk about digestive enzymes for a while now. I take them before meals to help my body break down the foods I eat to make them more digestible. It’s been great – but let me tell you I got to witness first-hand what Essentialzyme can do. I got a bowl of oatmeal and then sprinkles Essentialzyme-4 on it. After about 15 minutes, the oatmeal was more digested without it even being in my stomach yet. That’s what digestive enzymes can do. It‘s almost like you don’t know what you’re missing until you try it.

And no matter how “clean” you eat, none of our diets are 100% Our modern diet – along with the overall change in the food supply and soil – means that our food doesn’t have the same nutritional value as it did 10-20 years ago. Digestive enzymes help to balance digestive health and to stimulate overall enzyme activity to combat the modern diet. When I was at Winter Harvest, I learned from YL CEO and founder Gary Young himself that one of his must-have supplements to take daily is Essentialzyme.

I personally take Essentialzyme-4 or Detoxzyme 3 times a day between meals. It helps to – ahem – get things going in the bathroom, if you know what I mean. That’s a good thing. Elimination means getting stuff I don’t need getting out of my body. Digestive enzymes promote a healthy immune response and may support performance during exercise. You can use digestive enzymes with DiGize after every meal to support a wellness regimen.

And my kids take KidScents Mightyzme to help with digestive health and to stimulate enzyme activity to break down foods. This is a great one for kids to take daily – especially after a visit with grandma or the in-laws.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Who here has tried digestive enzymes? What differences have you noticed? If you haven’t tried it yet, tell me why want to try it.

12540924_10100572460202279_8266499610334657120_n

DAY 13: LIFE 5

I used to think that all vitamins and supplements were basically the same. I’m not alone, right? Well, just like our essential oils – there’s a HUGE difference in quality and effectiveness when it comes to supplements. And I’ll tell you right now, you’re not going to get it at Costco or Wal-Mart.

Somone once told me that comparing Life 5 to a probiotic is like calling Clark Kent a paperboy. We all know Clark is Superman – and that’s the same with Life 5. It’s so much more than a probiotic. And that probably explains why I’ve never felt any difference when I took probiotics before. I wasn’t using Life 5.

As you probably know fermented foods like raw sauerkraut, kim chee, kefir and kombucha are vital to for intestinal health. The problem is that I don’t consume these foods every day, and I’m willing to be you don’t either. That’s why I LOVE Life 5. Like my Digestive Enzymes, Life 5 is part of my daily wellness routine. Life 5 builds and restores core intestinal health by providing five clinically proven probiotic strains, including two advanced super strains to enhance intestinal health, sustain energy and improve immunity. Life 5 contains 8 billion active cultures and improves colonization up to 10 times. And be sure to keep this refrigerated to preserve the active cultures. My kids take it too! I just open up the pill and sprinkle it in a little honey and they love it. Nothing I’ve ever taken from the health food store can compare to Life 5.

Probiotics are products that deliver “good” bacteria to the digestive tract. Studies show that they support digestive and immune systems by improving nutrient absorption and waste elimination. And think about the gut-brain connection. Interesting, right?! That’s not all. Life 5 is made with active (live) strains of bacteria – 5 preferred bacteria strains actually – and each strain has its own benefit.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Share your experience with Life 5, or why you need it. Bonus point: Take a photo.

DAY 14: MULTIGREENS

Okay, admit it. Even though you try to eat as healthy as possible, you don’t get all the greens you need for the day. I’m raising my hand too. I’m often juggling work and kids, and honestly the last thing I even think about is making sure I eat my greens. That’s why I love MultiGreens.

Greens are oxygenating, immune-stimulating, and very high in antioxidants. MultiGreens is a nutritious chlorophyll formula designed to boost vitality – you know, so you have a little pep in your step. MultiGreens is made with spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen, eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and therapeutic-grade essential oils to support heart health and a provide GI support. It includes Melissa essential oil, which is great for boosting immunity. The other oils in multigreens are rosemary, lemon, and lemongrass, which are all great for the digestive system.

I’ve heard that MultiGreens is one of Young Living CEO Mary Young’s favorite products. Give it a try! Just take MultiGreens in the afternoon for a nutritional boost!

I find that his product really helps support my endocrine system along with Thyromin and Endoflex.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Share your experience with MultiGreens. Haven’t tried it yet? Why do you need it?

Day 15: MASTER FORMULA

We’ve been talking about a LOT of supplements this week. Now if I had to pare it down and suggest just two products to start with it would be NingXia Red and Master Formula. This one is more costly, but you get what you pay for!!

Master Formula is so unique. It’s a full-spectrum multivitamin and food-based nutrition for the whole body. It helps to neutralize free radicals and includes a prebiotic (a perfect companion for Life 5). What makes it unique is that there are 30 packets in each box – and each packet includes 4 supplements: 1 liquid capsure, 1 caplet and 2 capsules. This makes it easy to take them on the go or travel. Each supplement is absorbed into the body in 3 distinct delivery forms – for maximum absorption and effectiveness. That’s why essential oils cardamom, fennel, and ginger are used along with the fat-soluble viamins in the liquid capsule – to help the body absorb it better and faster. Isn’t that amazing?

In addition, Master Formula contains a blend of certified organic food extracts (such as grapefruit, lemon, kelp, spirulina, and barley grass) that provide vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B9, as well as whole food nutrition from foods like acai, turmeric, kale, elderberry and more.

I love Master Formula because it’s got iron, yet my stomach doesn’t get upset like other multivitamins. And it’s great for anyone 12 and older.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Why do you want to try Master Formula? What benefits are most appealing to you?

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU CHALLENGE DAYS 6-10!!

DAY 6: COOL AZUL

Remember we’re taking the weekends off for the wellness challenge to give us a couple of days of rest and relaxation with the family. Last week, we learned all about NingXia Red and how it can help to support our body and overall wellness. This week, we’re going to talk about workout support. Ready to get started?

One of my favorite Young Living products is Cool Azul. It’s available as both a Sport Gel and an oil blend. It is AH-MAZING! If you like Deep Relief and PanAway, you’ll love Cool Azul. So what’s the difference between the two? It’s really just preference.

Cool Azul Sports Gel is formulated with an unprecedented 10 percent (10 ml) of pure essential oils in every 3.4-oz. tube – that’s like a whole bottle of Cool Azul in that Sport Gel. The lead ingredient, aloevera, further adds to its uniqueness by making the formula’s base highly beneficial. Along with hydrating the skin, our sports gel also boasts a topically cooling blend of Peppermint essential oil, menthol, and camphor and includes Plectranthus Oregano and Young Living-exclusive Dorado Azul essential oil. The naturally derived ingredients give Cool Azul Sports Gel a unique consistency that makes application convenient and easy for anyone, including physical, sports, and massage therapists alike. No matter your training or fitness level, Cool Azul Sports Gel is a perfect choice to use before or after physical activity.

Cool Azul is a proprietary essential oil blend that includes the light aroma of Dorado Azul and the warm fragrance of Plectranthus Oregano (both Young Living exclusive oils), along with Peppermint, Wintergreen, Sage, Copaiba, Blue Cypress, Elemi, and other oils. Apply this blend topically for a cool sensation and aromatic experience. Cool Azul is ideal for use before, during, and after physical activities. Attach an AromaGlide roller fitment to the bottle and pack it in your gym bag, purse, or backpack for quick and easy on-the-go use.

I use it all over my legs after a run and it provides instant relief to my back after a day of standing or walking constantly. I love it!

12552878_10100569037960479_8352501845853863357_n

DAY 7: DEEP RELIEF

Want to know about one of my FAVORITE oils for workout support?

Let’s talk about a convinient way to find some relief with Deep Relief roll-on! This power packed roll-on is perfect for anyone that experiences discomfort from a workout or the stress of everyday life. I keep it with me all the time and even share this blend with friends at the gym and at the track. And it’s not just for workouts… I have a friend who uses it before bedtime to help her relax and go to sleep. And I have personally used it on my temples, lower jaw and back of my neck when I feel stressed – that’s where I hold all my tension.

Deep Relief Essential Oil Roll is a proprietary blend of oils specially formulated to assist muscle tiredness and tension. Peppermint, Wintergreen, Copal, and Palo Santo essential oils as well as others play an integral part in supporting post exercise recovery. Deep Relief is offered in the portable convenience of a roll on application. Be on the lookout later today for a video tutorial on ways to relieve muscle tension at home.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Tell us how Deep Relief has helped you. Extra entry points if you post a photo of you using Deep Relief.12509076_10100569388917159_2606219838851979798_n

DAY 8: ORTHOSPORT

Had an intense workout? It’s time to call in the BIG GUNS… OrthoSport. This massage oil is a stronger version of OrthoEase. It’s great for both professional and amateur athletes, as well as anyone who works or plays hard. Ortho Sport Massage Oil has a higher phenol content, which has been used traditionally to produce a warming sensation and provide relief to tired muscles. It’s made with Wintergreen, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and Thyme essential oils in a base of coconut and grapeseed oil.

Believe me, after a long day and tired muscles, you’ll LOVE applying this to your hamstrings, lower back, hips, shoulders and other tired areas on the body. I even like to apply this to my lower back after I’ve been sitting for a long time.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Have you tried OrthoSport? Share your experience. Or tell us why you WANT to try it.1914632_10100569822702849_2637417588447606038_n

DAY 9: SULFURZYME

Sulfurzyme contains organic sulfur and MSM, which allows the proper balance of water and mineral and keeps your body functioning at optimal levels. MSM is needed by our bodies every day to maintain the structure of proteins, protect cells and cell membranes, replenish the connections between cells, and preserve the molecular framework of connective tissue. MSM also supports the immune system, the liver, circulation, and proper intestinal function and works to scavenge free radicals. Wolfberries contain minerals and coenzymes that support the assimilation and metabolism of sulfur. It’s great for supporting the body for workout support.

Sulfurzyme also contains NingXia wolfberries. Why? The vitamin C, amino acids and protein in NingXia Red (which is formulated with the superfood NingXia wolfberries) helps the body to absorb MSM better into the body. Pretty awesome, right?

It definitely helps your joints and body after a hard workout. It also helps the body to naturally flush out toxins. Here’s another way to naturally detox the body: http://dontmesswithmama.com/health-benefits-of-infrared-sa…/

I love this supplement!! It is definitely one of my favorites and I notice a difference when I forget to take it.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Who’s taken Sulfurzyme? Share your experience on how it helped you. Or if you haven’t tried it yet, tell us why you need it.

DAY 10: EN-R-GEE

En-R-Gee is my very favorite oil to use before a daily workout or athletic performance event. It smells like black pepper and rosemary but the energy boost is work the strong aroma! I LOVE to apply it on my wrists and my big toe while I prep for the workout. Your big toe is the vitaflex point for brain function so it helps give you a cognitive boost as well – perfect for Monday mornings too. wink emoticon

En-R-Gee essential oil blend revitalizes with a blend of stimulating oils that have been used traditionally to help restore mental alertness. Uplifting and strengthening as the name suggests, it boosts energy. It’s made with Rosemary, Juniper, Lemongrass, Nutmeg, Idaho Balsam Fir, Clove, and Black Pepper essential oils. All I know is that my marathon times have been much faster thanks to this little oil!

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Who has tried En-R-Gee? Share your experience.

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU CHALLENGE DAYS 1-5!

DAY 1: NINGXIA RED

DID YOU KNOW… just one ounce of NingXia Red has the antioxidant power equivalent to 4 lbs of carrorts or 3 cups of raspberries? That’s a whole lot of fruit and vegetables. NingXia Red is an amazing whole-food nutrient drink.

And have you checked the nutrition label for NingXia Red? There’s more than antioxidant-rich wolfberries in there. NingXia Red’s essential oil blend is made up of orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine. Strategically chosen for their health-supporting benefits and flavor profiles, these oils are 93 percent d-limonene – a powerful antioxidant and marker for bioactivity and contain the flavone tangeritin. Together this blend adds premium, natural flavoring and helps maintain the body’s normal cellular function.

How to Drink NingXia Red
Drink 1-2 ounces 2 times daily. It’s best served chilled, but you can enjoy it at room temperature too. One thing I do recommend is to shake well before each use because all that wolfberry goodness is on the bottom. Refrigerate after opening and consume with in 30 days.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
Take a photo of you drinking NingXia Red and post it here.

10644477_10100565944779239_350233950831602145_n

DAY 2: NINGXIA RED SHOTS

DID YOU KNOW… NingXia Red helps to support normal eye health? NingXia Red contains a compound called zeaxanthin, which is critical for vision health. And guess what contains the HIGHEST known source for zeaxanthin? Wolfberries (gogi berries) – the main ingredient in NingXia Red.

Pretty awesome right? Alright then, it’s time to take a shot of NingXia Red and add your favorite essential oils to it. I love to enjoy mine with a drop of Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit, and Copaiba each to start my day. It’s delicious!

Here are some other amazing NingXia Red Shot recipes to try.

DAY 3: NINGXIA NITRO

Forget energy drinks. They’re full of toxic chemicals, loaded with sugar, artificial colors and preservatives.

Try NingXia Nitro instead. NingXia Nitro blends pure essential oils (Peppermint, Spearmint, Black Pepper, and Nutmeg) with naturally powerful ingredients such as d-ribose, green tea extract, and B vitamins. These ingredients, in addition to a Nitro blend of vanilla, chocolate, wolfberry seed, and yerba mate, provide a lift to one’s mental clarity and focus, while also providing a surge of energy. Designed to be taken when a boost is needed and with less caffeine than a cup of coffee, Nitro is a perfect option for on-the-go use and cognitive support.

DAY 4: NINGXIA ZYNG

DAY 5: NINGXIA WORKOUT

Have you made NingXia Red a part of your everday routine? I like to drink mine first thing in the morning when I wake up as part of my wake-up ritual. It’s easier for me to remember and I give an ounce to each of my kids too. Give your workout a NingXia Red BOOST.

PRE-WORKOUT
At least 30 minutes before each workout, take 1-2 oz of NingXia Red or NingXia Nitro (which contains a unique combination of B vitamins, essential oils, and green tea extract and Bioenergy Riobose, a premium ingredient clinically proven to increase energy, accelerate recovery, and reduce fatigue and muscle pain) AND a clear capsule with 4-6 drops of Lemongrass essential oil to get ready for your workout. These products work together to help improve energy and endurance and increase thermogenics in the body.

Amazing Peppermint & Cacao Creamer!

This creamer is rich, delicious, decadent tasting, AND it is dairy-free! Yeah, that is pretty incredible! The power of peppermint essential oil helps soothe the digestive track, increase the ability to focus, and is a wonderful way to support healthy bowel function on a daily basis. The ingredients are ALL high quality and clean.

Ingredients:

1 can coconut milk (do not get the low fat kind)

2-3 cups coconut milk (in a carton – the think kind you can drink)

14 drops peppermint essential oil

3 tablespoons raw cacao power

OPTIONAL (but makes it OH so much more delicious)

3 tablespoons coconut sugar

2 tablespoons cacao nibs (they are bitter but give an incredible flavor

Directions:

Open can of coconut milk and dumb into blender or food processor (if you are using a Vitamix everything will be pulverized regardless of ingredient order). Add 2 cups of coconut milk from your carton. Add cacao powder, sugar, nibs, and essential oil. Blend for 2 minutes or until frothy. I added an additional half cup of coconut milk but it is your discretion depending on desired texture of the creamer.

I use old kombucha bottles and this recipe almost made 2 full ones. I like to keep one and share the other 2 with friends!

 

Warning: this may make you a coffee drinker!! I also love it in my dirty chai tea ; )
