Happy first day of summer! I can’t believe that summer is already here! I feel like I have been waiting for it for so long that I thought it would never come!

Today I will be sharing my top 10 Essential Summer Shaklee Items! I have a few other post in the making right now to that are some of my must haves while beating the heat while pregnant during the summer and a few of my favorite summer activities!

When I first came up with this idea for a blog post idea, I knew that I would have a hard time coming up with my top 10 summer essentials. Not because I didn’t have 10 of my favorite things to share but I had a hard time narrowing it down to only 10 things! There are so many great things that come in handy during the summer months that I want to share them all!

No matter where you live, our bodies can really take a beating from summer! We need to make sure that we do everything we can to take care of ourselves.  With the sun on our skin, to the chlorine in our hair we need to have the best products around to get us through these hot summer months!

Take the plate and put it in the freezer over night or at least until the banana is completely frozen.

The Perfect Healthy Snack (It is Cool, Crunchy, Creamy and Sweet!)

When it comes to healthy snacks, I would have to say that this is one of my favorite snack. It is a great combination between energy, protein and deliciousness! It is easy to make and even easier to eat.

The combinations are truly endless with this snack. I personally love shopping at Trader Joe’s for all of my food and I especially love their granola section. There are so many amazing oppositions and they all go well with what I am about to share. If you don’t believe me you are just going to have to see for yourself.

Yogurt, Protein and Granola... Now that is a health Snack

You will need:

1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt.
1/2 Cup Granola.
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Strawberry Smoothie Protein.
Fresh fruit, if desired.

First things first. Pour your yogurt into a bowl.

Start with a bowl of yogurt. Measure out one scoop of your Shaklee 180 protein. Add a scoop of protein to your yogurt Pour the protein into your bowl. Add protein to your yogurt for it to be extra filling. Then measure out a half cup of the granola of your choice. (I used the Mixed Berries)
Add a .25 cup of granola to your yogurt and protein Next you just need to pour the granola into the bowl.
I am so going to try this. It is like a DIY parfait with protein Once you have everything in the bowl, give it a good mix up and… I am so going to try this, yogurt, granola and strawberry protein. …you are complete!  This is such a great idea... Yogurt, Protein and Granola Just add some Energy Tea (or Pomegranate Lemonade) and you are set for a perfect afternoon snack.

The perfect healthy snack. Yogurt, Protein, Granola and Enery tea!

Now do you believe me? Doesn’t that look like a delicious treat? It has a little bit of everything in it. It is cool, crunchy, creamy and sweet. What more can you ask for in a healthy snack?
