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!

Chocolate Mocha Latte Smoothie

When it comes to me and my smoothies, there is nothing I would rather have in the morning! I probably have over 50 recipes up in my head that I need to write down to share with all of you. They are so filling and refreshing.

Today I am sharing a recipe that I actually got from Shaklee itself. It is so good and I know that you are going to love it. Don’t get me wrong I still love my Chocolate Frape Smoothie. But this is a great alternative if you don’t have coffee cubes on hand.

You will need:

1 scoop Shaklee 180™ Café Latte Smoothee Mix
1 scoop Shaklee 180™ Chocolate Smoothee Mix
8 oz non fat milk (low-fat soy milk can also be used)
1/4 tsp instant coffee
Ice (as needed)

Combine all ingredients in blender. Blend until creamy.

I just wanted to share with all of you a little piece of reality! This is what it looks like behind the senses of most of my blog posts. This is breakfast time at the Heasley house!

This is what my picture looks like for all of you, hehe!

Do you ever have smoothies for breakfast?

If not what do you like to have?

You can find more recipes on my Facebook page.

Green River Float {St Patrick’s Day Treat}

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I hope you get the chance to sit back and relax a little bit today. I know that I will be enjoying this beautiful day!

I just wanted to share with you one of the treats I like to have on St. Patrick’s Day: A Green River Float! This is one of the only days out of the year that I will have any type of soda. I am not a soda drinker although, I do like it in this.

This recipe is so easy. You will only need 2 things.

The first thing you need is a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The second thing you are going to need is the Original Green River soda.

Here comes the easy part, pour the soda on to the ice cream!

I am not kidding, it is that easy! Now you can really sit back, relax and enjoy!

Ok, I have to be honest with you, this is a newer tradition for me. This was originally Brandon’s family tradition that I adopted a couple of years ago and now I am sharing it with you! It is just like a Root Beer Float only a Green River Float!

Do you have any traditions that you or your family do for St Patrick’s Day that you would like to share? I would love to learn about them and maybe try them myself.

Banana Almond Smoothie

I have been on the Shaklee 180 weight management program for 3 weeks now and I can’t even begin to explain how good I feel every time I drink my daily energizing smoothie. I love all 4 of the rich creamy and delicious flavor. When I have time in the morning I will blend up my smoothies with some fruits and/or vegetables for more nutrition and to change it up from day to day.

One of my favorite fruits to add to my smoothies would have to be bananas. I love them fresh or frozen and it blends well with so many flavors. Today I used the the Vanilla Energizing Smoothie although I love bananas with the Chocolate and Strawberry Energizing Smoothee as well.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Banana

1 Teaspoon Slivered Almonds (Blend in the blender first before adding any ingredients to get them finally chopped)

1 Scoop of Shaklee Physique Natural Banana (This is an amazing for muscle recovery after you work out)
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Energizing Vanilla Smoothee mix.

Ice (Blend until creamy)

I would love to know that you like to put into your smoothies. I am always looking to try out new smoothies and new ingredients, are there any you think I just have to try?

Thank you all for reading and for following along.
