The Most Amazing Pomegranate Lemonade {That gives you energy}

I can’t believe that I haven’t posted anything in a long time! Things around here have been a little crazy. I have been working two jobs, buying a house, planning a wedding and spending some time with the most amazing fiancé ever, all while living in a house with 9 other people.

I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for my daily vitamins and this energy tea, I don’t think I would be able to make it through all of this.

My vitamins keep me sane and focused all day long and my tea gives me the energy to last the entire day without getting all jittery or crashing come night fall (AKA midnight).

You only need 3 things:

1. Lemons
2. Stevia – I used liquid although powder works just as well

3. Energizing Pomegranate Tea – There is also a Energizing Green Tea (I personally prefer the green tea hot apposed to iced but both work well.

Here is a short video showing you just how I make my famous Pomegranate Lemonade Iced Tea.

It is just 4 simple steps:

1. Fill cup up with ice and water.

2. Open tea and pour it in.
3. Squeeze a wedge of lemon into your drink.

4. Add Stevia to taste and stir.

There you have it, My Famous Pomegranate Lemonade!!!!

I have had so many people ask me how I make this energy tea and I finally got around to making a video for you.

This is just one of my favorite types of teas. Are you a tea drinker? Do you have a recipe that you would like me to try? I would love to know what other people are drinking!

St Patrick’s Day Smoothie! {The Green Monster}

As most of you I am currently on the Shaklee 180 program and I have been loving it. I am so happy with the results so far and I can’t wait to see I how I look for the wedding. I can really tell that I am a changed women and I can’t even describe the amount of energy I have.

I have 1 to 2 smoothies a day I have become very creative with the different types of smoothies I have been making to help keep me motivated and to change it up from day to day. I also like to get creative for the holidays.

For St Patrick’s Day I am going to be making what I like to call the Green Monster! Don’t be fooled by the color, it is actually very sweet. It has a great combination of fruits and vegetables.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

2 Scoops of Vanilla Shaklee 180 Smoothee Mix

1/2 Cup Pineapple (Canned or fresh)

1/4 Cup Spinach (Fresh or Frozen)

1/2 Avocado

1/2 Orange

8 Ice Cubes

Blend until thick and creamy! This is a breakfast for champions.

I will be honest with you, when I made this most of my sibling didn’t want to try it because of the color. Once they did, they loved it.

No one except for the baby saw me make this smoothie, so they had to ask what was in it that made it green because they couldn’t tell by the taste! That is what I call hiding veggies!

This is a great way to get all of your morning nutrition in one glass. It has milk, protein, fruits and veggies. It tasted so good and I know that you are going to love it.

If you wouldn’t mind sharing, I would love to know what you and your family actually think of it.

Until next time,

Tea For Two!

I don’t know where you are from or what the weather is like where you live but all I know is it is COLD here in Chicago! With the snow up to our ankles and the wind chill below 0 it is a great day to stay inside, bundled up with a warm cup of tea!

I have to admit that I am kind of obsessed with tea, all kinds, warm or cold. Although at night I love having a warm cup of tea before I go to bed. It is so soothing and warmth of the tea running down my throat heats up my whole body.

What can be better than having a cup of tea? Having it with someone else! Tea for two is so much better than having it alone. I guess I am blessed that I have gotten everyone close to me hooked on tea as well 😉 My mother-in-law-to-be gave me this tea pot for Christmas and I use it almost daily.
