Options to green smoothies on the go & for your kids
Green smoothies do make a difference!! I make my own, as well as drink Shakeology – but sometimes I cannot do that. When I am not at my Vitamix… I am not mixing the greens. And when you are a busy mom it can be hard. The Genesis green drink from Prograde is an option for getting your green on the go. One packet has 4-5 servings of produce plus lots of extras. Prograde Genesis is by far the easiest and best tasting greens supplement on the market. It’s easy to mix, even easier to drink and tastes great!! (click here to see ingredients)

Are you eating beyond organic?
Are You Eating Beyond Organic?
Many of you may know my good friend and natural health expert Jordan Rubin, CEO of Garden of Life, and author of The Maker’s Diet.
Jordan is about to launch a new company called Beyond Organic, which will offer the world’s healthiest foods, including:
- Beyond Organic GreenFed Beef
- Beyond Organic raw cheese
- Beyond Organic 100% GreenFed cultured dairy beverage
- REIGN – mountain spring water with unsurpassed purity
- REIGN infused spring waters for enhanced performance in life
- Beyond Organic certified organic dark chocolate with probiotics and omega-3s
There are MANY significant features that set these foods and beverages apart from what you would find in health stores.
For example, we have all seen “organic” and “grass-fed” beef at Whole Foods. But did you know that organic beef requires that the cows consume 30% grass? Only 30%!
Jordan Rubin’s new company is taking 8,000+ certified organic acres in Missouri and Georgia to raise cattle that are free roaming, Green-Fed, and genetically superior cows. (By the way, Green-Fed is a more correct description than grass-fed, and you will learn more about that in future newsletters). You can click HERE for several videos that describe the products.
One reason I am very excited about this company is rather than putting this food in health food stores; Beyond Organic will be skipping the middleman and will ship these foods directly from their farm to your family! It has always been a huge pain for me to try and get grass-fed beef, and especially raw dairy products. You know if you walk into Whole Foods what that can turn into. My visit quickly turns into $200 instead of $50 because of all of the impulse items that I see there. And they are mostly processed foods that really aren’t that healthy for you anyway. But now, with Beyond Organic, the foods and beverages come to me!
Another feature that sets this product line apart is the infusion of clinically studied probiotics. Probiotics are the naturally good flora that are so important to supporting digestive function and boosting immune system health.
Also, the dairy products are produced by cows with specialized genetics −producing milk that is highly tolerable and very digestible.
How to Live Beyond Organic
The really great news is you can literally be one of the first people in America to live Beyond Organic. Since Beyond Organic has not officially launched, from now until October you can become a Beyond Organic Insider. Anyone who is interested in learning more about these foods and beverages, or even the potential to get your Beyond Organic foods and beverages for free by sharing this message with others, can become an insider nearly four months before the rest of the world hears the good news about the new company.
There is NO fee to sign-up now through September and in that time, you will be educated on the Beyond Organic lifestyle, have the opportunity to try some of the products and discover how you can share the Beyond Organic message with friends, family, colleagues and for physicians, your patients.
All of you have recommended healthy eating options to others, and now you can share with those you know and love, how they can consume the healthiest foods and beverages available and be compensated for doing so.
Over a decade ago, Jordan started Garden of Life, one of the leading nutritional supplement companies in America in his parent’s friend’s garage with his dad’s credit card and a dream. Now you can be part of Jordan’s new vision! This is truly a ground floor opportunity, and I jumped at the chance to become a part of. And now, I am asking you to join me.
If you would like to get insider access to Beyond Organic at no cost, you can register here:
Once you hold your place by signing up, you can then invite your friends to do the same.
Starting on November 1st, you can become involved with Beyond Organic in one of three ways.
1) You can purchase these foods retail
2) You can become a preferred customer and purchase Beyond Organic products at a 20% discount
3) You can become a Mission Marketer, share these foods and beverages with friends and family, and have the opportunity to get your Beyond Organic foods and beverages for free or even earn an income.
I have never been a huge fan of direct selling companies because often produce inferior products at inflated prices. You know that I have had great success, however, as a Team Beachbody coach where I found the my soul workout program, TurboFire. But when I found this company I have to say, these are literally the best quality foods and beverages I have ever seen, and they will provide real value to everyone who purchases them. For the same reason I am in love with Shakeology, it’s that reasoning that made me fall in love with Beyond Organic.
An area of focus for Beyond Organic that aligns very well with my beliefs is their mission to help feed and clothe widows and orphans by partnering directly with ministries and other non-profit organizations. Their groundbreaking program called “Give a Meal, Get a Meal” is powerful, and once you get set up as an Insider you can watch all these amazing videos and see the vision for yourself!
Healthy Food that Tastes Amazing!
I ONLY advise my friends and family to eat what I eat, and these are the foods I will be eating every day. And now, I am inviting you to do the same.
Once you sign up as a Beyond Organic Insider you will receive your own enroller link and code. If you have friends and family who may also want access to these amazing healthy foods and beverages, please share this message with them on FACEBOOK or email your contact list.

Can you DIY??
I love Planet Green! Just saying. So when I saw their DIY Skills list I had to share. How many of these essential food skills do you have? And when you are done with these take a look at the other skills on the list of the top 100 DIY skills:
Essential Food Skills
1. Read and understand product labels (I do this so much it drives my husband crazy! And if you’ve taken my Holistic Food Basics course you are reading the labels too)
2. Bake bread – (I don’t do it, but my husband does)
3. Make your own bread starter and keep it going – (We have our sour starter in the fridge and love it… who doesn’t love sourdough pancakes… right?)
4. Make cheese, yogurt, and kefir from local milk – (The benefits of raw milk are huge. Learn more by googling it online and then get your raw milk and make some raw milk cheese… there is nothing better!!!)
5. Preserve food by canning – (I froze some veggies last year, but I haven’t done the canning yet. Baby steps)
6. Preserve food by drying – (Boy do I need to learn to do this!)
7. Forage for local wild foods safely- (I be in Seattle this will be a good thing to learn. We won’t have as many neighbors that we will have already tagged for eating in case of emergency… JUST KIDDING)
8. Raise a couple of backyard chickens – (We’ll be in Issaquah, but had we found the right house in Magnolia you know I would have been looking into it.)
9. Make your own tofu,tempeh, and soy milk (How about hemp milk, almond milk or rice milk… why is it always soy?)
10. Eat locally and in season (Done and done)
11. Grind your own flour – (My husband uses the grinder at The Beer Nut for his grains, but we really need our own)
12. Grow your own produce (We are currently planning our container garden since we’ll be renting when we first move)
13.Grow your own herbs (See above)
14.Grow your own sprouts – (This is so fun – you have to do it at least once!)
15. Blend your own herbal tea – (hmmmm)
16. Have a repertoire of vegetarian recipes you can use for various occasions – (Getting there)
17. Fish or hunt responsibly if you eat meat – (Pastured and Wild Caught only please!)
18. Make homemade pastas and other pantry basics – (I just finally got a Kitchenaid this last year and we so want the pasta attachment)
19. Cook a variety of foods well - (I think I do that. What do you think?)
20. Utilize a menu to minimize food waste – (We do our best, and we compost what we don’t use)
21. Throw a party without compromising your green values - (Birthday parties are fun at our house. All organic baby!)
22. Make Your Own Vanilla Extract – (Potato vodka and vanilla beans… so awesome)
23. Sharpen kitchen knives so they last – (Sharpen them??? I guess that is the husband’s job because I surely never do this.)
24. Make homemade granola bars, granola, waffles, and other breakfast items – (I love to do this!!!)
25. Make baked goods from “scratch”. – (Not only do I love to do this, but my friend owns the Comfort Baking Company in Las Vegas, NV)
26. Understand terms like, “organic”, “Fair Trade”, “all natural”, and “GMO” – (They do all mean something different. Do you know what that is??)
What do you think about that list? I’d love to hear from you.

Healthy first aid for the home
A natural first aid kit is simple to put together with essential oils. Whether it is a wound, a sting or sunburn, there is an essential oil that you can use for first aid! Your essential oils promote and support the healing of our body. They have hundreds of benefits instead of side effects which is just amazing. The are also easy and convenient to use. I love that I don’t have to have three sets of products for my husband, my daughter and myself! Essential oils have multiple medicinal properties, I can use them for more than just first aid, and often do. If you have ten to fifteen oils in your home you can almost accomplish anything.
That is why I love The Family Physician® Kit. It is a collection of ten nurturing essential oils, including six single oils and four blends. The stunning box includes tips for using the oils, as well as an audio CD featuring dōTERRA®’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David K. Hill. In this audio presentation, Dr. Hill teaches listeners how to care for their family’s everyday health needs with simple and safe methods using the ten essential oils included in this kit. Includes 5 ml bottles of Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Melaleuca, Oregano, Frankincense, Deep Blue®, Breathe, DigestZen®, and On Guard™ to help families address a multitude of health issues. And best of all is that you know when dealing with any first aid or emergency, we must also address the emotional aspect of what ever is going on, Usually we all need to stay calm and focused during these situations, and essential oils offer the perfect solution. Essential oils are perfect for that.
Another great option is the Family Wellness Kit. It includes:
Lifelong Vitality Pack
PastTense® (10 ml)
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Family Physician Kit: 5 ml bottles of lavender, lemon, peppermint, melaleuca, oregano, frankincense, Deep Blue®, Breathe, DigestZen®,
and On Guard®
On Guard® Foaming Hand Wash and two dispensers
If you have kids, they are getting doused in antibacterial stuff everywhere they go. And frankly, that’s not good for them. The On Guard Foaming Hand Wash is a gentle, healthy alternative to harsh antibacterial soaps made with synthetic ingredients. Fortified with the power of naturally safe CPTG® essential oils, On Guard Foaming Hand Wash provides the protective benefits of one of dōTERRA®’s most popular proprietary essential oil blends. On Guard Foaming Hand Wash cleans and softens hands with the invigorating blend of essential oils that leave your hands smelling fresh.
Watch the video, and then start a New Year, New Healthy living plan by bringing your first aid kit up to date.
