  • I love Shakeology and so do my Kids!

    My daughter and son love Shakeology!

    People have asked me many times if we have our kids drink Shakeology.  The answer is a most definite “Yes”!!!  We usually give them 1/3 of a scoop each, maybe a bit more and they get it in their own special cup!  They love it and is getting all those super foods into their bodies at the ripe old age of 3 and 5!!  We have actually been giving it to them since I started taking it, which was in March of 2012.  So our daughter has been having it since before she was 2 and Jude has been having it since he could eat, on the fast track to superior health!!!

    I will say this about Shakeology.  It is safe for kids and adults alike.  Some of the Shakeology ingredients might create allergic reactions, because there are of 70 superfoods in it.  That should not scare you off.  It has changed our family’s life.  My husband as well as myself have seen some obvious outward examples.  His hair stylist actually saw a drastic change in thickness and health in his hair.  After six months she could not believe the change.  He also has very brittle nails that crack very easily.  After Shakeology, his nails never split anymore and grow like crazy.  That is where I have seen a huge impact.  Our hair grows like crazy!  I have thick hair, but it never grew super fast.  Now it grows ridiculously fast.  Again, my hair stylist started drinking Shakeology after seeing the change in our hair!  It’s crazy!

    The other side of what has happened in our lives is our cyclical colds.  In Washington state, where we live, the change in weather inevitably comes with sickness.  It seems that no matter how careful we are, the colds enter our home!  Why do I bring this up and how does it relate to Shakeology?  Well since having Shakeology daily, when I get a cold, I find it is gone in only a couple of days and less extreme.  My husband has definitely seen the change and our kids have been having it most their life and they hardly get sick at all!  It is such a blessing.shakeology, shakeology ingredients, shakeology reviews, shakeology safe

    I also know that Shakeology is not the fix all.  Our overall diet and nutrition in general has become much more simple and healthy.  We stick to a lot more raw foods, which doesn’t allow us to mess up and have a lot of processed food choices.  We are learning about healthier alternatives all the time.  It is amazing how many of our choices have come back and helped our body.

    It is awesome to think that our family is truly on the path to leading our son and daughter on the right path of nutrition.  Prior to 2012 that was not the case.  Shakeology, Chalene Johnson with Turbofire and Piyo, Tony Horton’s P90X series, Shaun T with Insanity, Beachbody Ultimate Reset, Autumn Calabrese and 21 Day Fix and Fix Extreme, Body Beast and now Hammer and Chisel  have all played a huge part in transforming my families habits.  We are so much more active and my husband has loved the change in me!!  We make health and nutrition a focal part of our life!  We talk about it and don’t pretend to hide our food choices from our kids.  They know what kale and spinach are, they know all about gluten-free, they know about moderation of sweets and junk food.  As a family we want to do our part to end the trend of obesity.  We do that by first living it out ourselves, then sharing with others ways it has worked for us and hopefully can work for them!!

    This journey will not stop and it is exciting and new everyday  Don’t cheat yourself, check out Shakeology!!

  • Read the Nutrition Label! It is Important!

    Nutrition Label and Dried Fruit 101:

    I was in Costco (again) ?today and wanted to make a post to explain the importance of reading a nutrition label. On the left is your average dried fruit. Refined sugar and yucky preservatives. I almost bought it before I flipped it over and read what was in it.

    I can’t tell you how many times in my life I have not flipped my product over and read the nutrition label.  It is a failure I look to change.  I think it is putting it in my phone when I go to the grocery store, so I remember, and after a while it should become a habit.  But it is so important, because look at what you fine!

    The one on the right is organic and only ONE ingredient. Just the way it should be. If you are going to pay the money you may as well get the best product. Your body will thank you! I promise it will! ????
