Skin Smoothie

This is the creamiest smoothie I've ever had.  In the past, to get a smoothie really really creamy I had to add banana.  I like to make "no fruit" smoothies because smoothies that are loaded with fruit aren't quite as healthy as ones that aren't.  Today I added avocado....and it blows away the banana for the creamy texture!  What's more? ...avocados have even more potassium than bananas and are FULL of those healthy fats that are so good for us!

I'm calling this the "Skin Smoothie" because it's loaded with nutrients, collagen, antioxidants and healthy fatty acids.   Ready to get your glow on?

Ingredients:

• 1 c. unsweetened almond milk (look for carrageenan free --> I like New Barn or Califia Farms brands
• 1 scoop Vanilla Plant Based Protein Powder
• 1 scoop Greens Blend
• 1 scoop Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
• 1/4 very ripe avocado
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (great source of antioxidants...anti-inflammatory properties...and more!  One of the healthiest spices!!)
• 2 ice cubes

Blend until smooth and incredibly creamy!  I love making "no fruit" smoothies that are ultra healthy....and taste amazing, this one is definitely both.

The nutrients and healthy fats in this smoothie will keep you satisfied for a looooong time.  This would be a great breakfast because it's full of protein too.

Restaurant Style Artichokes - Whole30 Style

I honestly think artichokes might be my favorite food.  They are so satisfying, loaded with antioxidants, and are fun to eat!  

I usually just steam them and eat them plain....dipped in some homemade mayo... easy peasy and delicious.  You can see my blog post How to Make Artichokes where I get into more detail about how to steam them.  This time I made them taste the way you get them in a restaurant, but made sure to keep it healthy.... even Whole30 approved;)

Since writing that post back in 2014, I now have an Instant Pot that has been a game changer for time saver cooking!!!  It used to take me about an hour to cook artichokes and now I get it done in 20 minutes thanks to my Instant Pot pressure cooker....LOVE it.

You will need:

• 2 large artichokes
• Homemade Mayo (click for recipe)
• juice from 1/2 lemon plus extra wedges for serving
• 1/2 tsp crushed garlic (I use Trader Joe's from a jar)
• sea salt and pepper

While you're steaming your artichokes, make your homemade mayo if you haven't already so it's ready for the next step when they are done cooking.

How to Steam Artichokes in an Instant Pot:

1. Wash your artichokes and trim the stem.
2. Cut the tops off using a sharp serrated knife.
3. Put 1 cup of water in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
4. Place the steaming rack in the bottom and place the artichokes inside.
5. Lock the lid and ensure the vent is set to "sealing" not "venting".
6. Use the "Steam" button and set the timer for 20 mins on high pressure.
7. Once it comes up to temperature, it will start counting down the minutes.
8. When done, you can let it vent on it's own, or using a pot holder to protect yourself, vent it manually by moving the vent to "venting".  Careful not to let the escaped steam burn you.
9. Once it stops steaming, the pressure is released and you can open the lid and remove the artichokes.

Here's how mine look after I open the lid...

Ok, now for the fun part...making them "restaurant style"

Slice your artichokes into two halves.  Put them cut side up on a rack on a baking sheet lined with foil.  (I use a cooling rack and it works great.) Using a knife and spoon, scoop out the center fuzz and purple leaves to clean them.  This will make them super easy to eat when done.

Turn your oven to "Broil".

Whisk a couple large spoonfuls of homemade mayo, juice from half a lemon, and 1/2 tsp crushed garlic (I use the jar version of garlic for this, works great) until smooth.  You want a consistency that's easy to paint on the artichokes.

Using a kitchen brush, paint the artichokes all over liberally with the mayo mixture, top and bottom.  pour a little extra right in the cup that you created by scooping out the inside.  This will be soooooo tasty after broiling!!!  Mmmmmmm.

Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper, and place under the broiler on the center oven rack.  

Watch them closely and in about 6 minutes they will be golden brown.  Remove from oven when done do your liking;)

I served these as an appetizer like you'd order in a restaurant... with lemon wedges and additional sauce for dipping.  That baked on center section where the mayo mixture settled was SO delicious!!!  You could also serve these delicious beauties as a side dish!  Enjoy....and let me know what you think of these in the comments!

Healthy Gut Healthy Life Challenge

Our overall health depends greatly on the health of our gut.  Many of us know this to some extent.... but don't realize just how much it matters.   Did you know that even our brain health is connected to our gut health?  Did you know our immune system starts in our gut?  Healing our digestive tract can ensure we live a healthier LIFE.  I'm going to help you learn how to have a healthier gut...and therefore, live a healthier LIFE.  

I've designed this Healthy Gut Healthy Life CHALLENGE to:

1. Help you understand how the state of our gut impacts our health in so many ways.
2. Show you what signs to look for to know if your gut may not be healthy as it should be.
3. Show you how to heal your gut, and keep it healthy once you do.

The first thing I want to point out is the word DISEASE.  Most of us know that it means the absence of health.  Let's look at the actual word more closely for a moment.  When we break it down, the word is actually saying DIS - EASE, which means lack of ease or harmony within the body.  When we start to think of the word in this way, we stop having this image that disease swoops down and attacks us... and start thinking of it as something we can prevent.  We simply must keep our body at ease....in harmony....to keep it healthy.  I want you to take back some power and control over your health.  Healing your gut is the single most important thing you can do for your health.

How our gut impacts our entire body:

• IMMUNE SYSTEM:  weakened immune system, frequent colds and viruses, food sensitivities, autoimmune disease.
• BRAIN:  Mood swings, anxiety, depression
• DIGESTION:  Diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, IBS, IBD, acid reflux
• SKIN:  Acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea
• THYROID:  Weight fluctuation, Hashimotos, Hypothyroidism, Graves
• OTHER:  Insomnia, migraines, fatigue, low energy, yeast overgrowth

Our digestive system starts in the mouth and ends in the colon/anus and has many systems in between.  Most people aren't aware of the "Gut-Brain" connection and the direct impact a healthy gut can have on our brain health!

Health Issues that may be a sign of an unhealthy gut:  

• Autoimmune Illnesses
• Fatigue/low energy
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Acid Reflux
• Mental health issues (mood swings, anxiety, depression)
• Poor immunity, constantly "under the weather"
• Skin issues
• Trouble maintaining a healthy weight
• Constipation
• Diarrhea

Let's talk about immunity for a moment.  No, I'm not talking about the show "Survivor" kind of immunity....I'm talking about our immune system.  I'll try to explain this as simply as possible.  75% of our immune system is found in our gastrointestinal tract.  This is because we have a delicate micro-biome that plays a BIG part in our digestive process.  When it becomes unbalanced, it can weaken our immune system.  Friendly bacteria protect the walls of our intestines and it's imperative that those bacteria stay balanced.  When we become unbalanced and have digestive upset, all of a sudden those walls break down and become permeable.  Toxins can then leak out into the body.  (Leaky Gut Syndrome)  When this happens our immune system kicks in to clean up the mess...and it starts becoming busy doing this all the time.  Our immune system is really good and efficient at cleaning up acute problems.  Like a cut or wound...it recognizes it...cleans it up and it heals.  Done.  But when we develop an unbalanced, unhealthy gut, our immune system is constantly at work.  This is what's known as chronic systemic inflammation or low-grade inflammation.  This is BAD NEWS for your health.   This is what causes so many lifestyle diseases that can be prevented and healed by healing our gut!  

Common Lifestyle Diseases that can be caused by and unhealthy gut and chronic systemic inflammation:

• High Blood Pressure
• High Cholesterol
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Allergies
• Athsma
• Sinus infections
• Endometriesis
• Migraines
• Heartburn
• Depression
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Autism
• Arthritis
• Joint pain
• Lyme Disease
• Thyroid disfunction
• Fibromyalgia
• Lupus
• Chronic Fatigue
• Leaky Gut Syndrome
• Crohn's
• Celiac
• Multiple Sclerosis
• ...and more

Think for a moment about all the medications that people take today for the above conditions.  It's pretty overwhelming.  We all know people in our life with one or more of the above conditions, right?  Maybe it's even us.  What if I told you that you could possibly completely eliminate a lifestyle disease by healing your gut?  Would it be worth it to try?  What if it could help get a loved one off of medication that was causing additional side effects?  Why don't the doctors educate us more about this?  Because there isn't a whole lot of money in health honestly.  There's a whole lot of money in sickness and meds.  That's all I'm going to say about that because that's a whole other issue...  There are some great doctors out there, don't get me wrong, who teach nutrition, etc as a part of healing.  Doctors are even recommending probiotics now more than ever.

My dad recently started taking a daily probiotic.  I'd been trying to get him to take one for some time now, but it wasn't until his doctor recommended it after he was prescribed antibiotics, that he finally listened.  He called me one day to tell me how amazing he felt since taking them.  He said he'd lost his bloated belly he'd had for years.  He said he'd taken off some extra weight.  He said he was having regular, daily bowel movements.  He said he just felt "overall" better!  I explained to him why....that his gut was getting healthy again...it was becoming balanced again.  I encouraged him to continue to take them daily.  I'm thrilled that he's getting a healthy gut...healthy LIFE.  My mom is now taking a daily probiotic right along with him;) 

What's the killer of friendly bacteria, or probiotics in your body?

• Prescription antibiotics
• Sugar
• GMO foods
• Grains
• Emotional Stress

Here's your Healthy Gut CHALLENGE: (two options for you)

---

CHALLENGE #1:  Is this you? ---> You don't have any signs of an unhealthy gut listed above, or lifestyle diseases that you know of, you're in overall good health, you maintain a healthy weight.

If this is you, prevention is key.  This will maintain a healthy gut.  Good for you for feeling great!  By taking action now, you can prevent an unhealthy gut and chronic inflammation, which can lead to lifestyle diseases down the line.  Your challenge for the next 30 days is to:

• Eat healthy, whole foods.  Only eat out at restaurants when necessary and choose healthier options.  (I'm trusting you here.  You're adults.  If you cheat and eat junk food every day...the only person you're cheating is YOU.)
• No fast food restaurants.
• Keep processed foods, sugar, GMO foods, grains, and emotional stress to a minimum.  
• Eliminate ALL artificial sugars.  (stevia, monk fruit, and honey are allowed.)
• Drink 64 oz of water per day. 
• Take this daily probiotic to ensure gut health balance for the next 30 days.  (take it each morning on an empty stomach.)  
• Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day (this does not need to be rigorous, even just a walk.  I like to walk/hike one day, and do some body weight training the next, yoga the next...whatever you choose so you don't get bored!)  Short on time?  That's okay...to eliminate excuses here's my quick 7 minute workout and you don't need any equipment!

Start as soon as you receive your probiotics.  Do all of this for 30 days and evaluate how you feel.  it's helpful to keep a journal.  Chances are, you're going to feel better, even though you thought you felt pretty good to start with!

---

CHALLENGE #2:  Is this you? --->  Are any of the following true?  You have any of the signs of an unhealthy gut mentioned above.  You have one or more of the lifestyle diseases mentioned above.  You have trouble maintaining a healthy weight.

If this is you, it's time to heal your gut.  Use the same guidelines as above in Challenge #1 including the daily probiotic.  In addition to the things listed for Challenge #1, we are adding an elimination diet for you guys, so you'll be following a stricter guideline than Challenge #1 does.  We are going to eliminate foods for 30 days that are known to cause inflammation in the body.  These are things like grains, dairy, beans, alcohol, and sugar.  I know it sounds scary, but elimination diets can truly let you identify what types of inflammatory foods can be wreaking havoc on your gut.  My favorite elimination program is the Whole30.  You can learn about the Whole30 online, or I have a convenient  Whole30 Guide that makes it really convenient for you...and I've added all of my expertise, advice, and favorite recipes, since I lead hundreds of people through this Program.  I've gathered all of the information that is most important for you to know to ensure your success.  I even go over what to do after the 30 days.  The purpose of an elimination diet is not to lose weight, even though you probably will.  It's purpose is the learn how certain foods affect your body.  Everyone's different, so after the 30 days, you can reintroduce the foods you've eliminated, slowly...one by one, to see how you feel.  By doing this, you can design a lifestyle that's tailored to you.  To help you save, I have a coupon code to SAVE on my Whole30 Guide!  Enter the coupon code HealthyGutHealthyLife to save 75% off the price!

If you fall into the Challenge #1 category, but would like to do Challenge #2, feel free!  It's completely safe for anyone to complete and will help you acquire new, healthy habits.

ARE YOU READY TO HEAL YOUR GUT?  Here we go!  Healthy Gut...Healthy LIFE!

Note:  I recommend a specific probiotic for this challenge that I know works as it should...many probiotics don't.  It's non GMO, soy free, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, kosher, has 25 Billion CFUs guaranteed, has a patented 4-strain blend, it's formulated especially for gut health, and is made in the USA.  Foods alone today, lack the amount of healthy bacteria we need to keep a balanced healthy gut.  I believe one of the healthiest supplements you can take, along with a premium Omega-3 Fish Oil which is excellent for eliminating inflammation, is a high quality probiotic.

My Anti-Aging Drink

We all wish we could find the Fountain of Youth, right?  I've always taken pretty good care of myself.  That...mixed with good genes, has kept me looking more youthful than I actually am.  I'm all about anti-aging because I believe in aging gracefully and don't plan to have cosmetic surgery anytime soon.  ...by that I mean ever.

I'm a "healthy food first....supplement as needed" kind of gal, but there is a drink that I concocted myself as my insurance for healthy skin and anti-aging that I drink every day.  It's my own Fountain of Youth that I drink to combat aging and ensure my skin stays as youthful looking as possible.  

Whenever people hear my actual age, which is 44 by the way, they are usually surprised and I want to keep it that way.  I know what supplements I need to keep my skin looking young and combat those pesky signs of aging.  I learned a lot about this when I became Nutritious Life Certified.  I know that some of the ingredients that can help me keep my youthful appearance, my body doesn't make, so I need to get them from outside sources.  This drink ensures I get them every day!  I'm a stickler about ingredients though....so it took some research to find reputable sources.  I found the best resources for each of these ingredients for you.  I've done the research so you don't have to.  Just drink up and know you're getting quality with no sugar, chemicals or additives.

These are my "fountain of youth" must-have ingredients and why they're important:

1. Antioxidants:  By now you probably know that antioxidants are important for anti-aging because they fight free radicals in our bodies.  It was important to me to find a supplement with a very high ORAC value with healthy ingredients with no added chemicals or sugar.
2. Minerals:  Americans are deficient in minerals due to our soils being depleted.  We need minerals.  Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being.  They help keep the blood and tissue fluids alkaline, help transport nutrients to cells, and help prevent bone loss.  Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.  It was important to me to find a source that I trusted, without any chemicals, added junk, or sugar.  I did my research and found an excellent source from 100% sea vegetables (versus minerals derived from rocks) that tastes amazing without anything artificial.
3. Collagen:  This is all the rage, with good reason.  Collagen is kinda the key to the "fountain of youth" that promotes youthful looking skin, healthy hair and strong nails .  It also supports bone health, healthy joints, and can help maintain weight.  The one I found even promotes healthy immune, digestive, and central nervous systems.  It was important to me to find a high quality grass-fed, non-GMO, pure source.  The one I found is all of those things and completely tasteless.
4. Greens:  This is where it can get tricky, because when you start looking for a truly healthy greens blend...you usually lose good taste.  I found organic raw greens that are grown in glacial soil and cut at peak harvest before the jointing stage, so you get the best quality greens. They are raw, so they retain more nutrients than cooked greens. This formula I found adds a certified organic blend of reishi, maitake, and shitake mushrooms to provide a vegetarian source of iron and B vitamins, and also a great source of phytonutrients and antioxidants.  It also contains Dulse, which is the new hot superfood!  What's the best part?  It tastes amazing, so it leaves you smiling...rather than gagging.  This has a delicious-yet-subtle berry flavor, silky smooth texture, and leaves no "grassy" aftertaste. 
5. Lemon Juice:  Drinking fresh squeezed lemon juice brings a healthy glow to the skin.  Lemon juice benefits the enzyme functions in your body, stimulating the liver and flushing out toxins.  It's great for detox, digestion, and the Vitamin C, which our bodies don't produce on our own so we have to get it from outside sources.  Vitamin C helps the body produce it's own collagen.  Great news all around....we need collagen to combat those wrinkles ladies!  Lemon juice is simply FAB for aging and health.

Here's how to make my Anti-Aging Drink

Ingredients:

• 16 oz water
• 1 scoop Collagen Peptides
• 1 scoop Greens Blend
• 1 scoop Minerals & Antioxidants
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• a couple of ice cubes - if you like it chilled a bit, I do ;)

Place all ingredients in a Blender Bottle or "shaker" with a blender ball and shake well.  Perfect for mornings on the go, or you can pour into a pretty glass and enjoy leisurely.  I recommend using a good quality Blender Bottle with a metal blender ball.  I like this one.  They work better and will last longer.

Note:  Yes, you must use the exact ingredients in my recipe for it to taste good....and ensure it's non-GMO, chemical-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, preservative-free, and soy-free.

---

By the look of this dark green drink, it may scare some of you who have tried healthy greens drinks in the past.... because you may recall the nasty taste you had to choke down.  I sure had.  Nasty tasting drinks don't last long.  I get it.  No matter how good it is for you, in time it will sit on the shelf and collect dust because it's, well...it doesn't taste good.

I've got great news for you!  This combination tastes SO good.  I actually look forward to it because it tastes so delicious.

I hope you give it a try and enjoy!  Let me know!  Here's to aging gracefully.

Here's what people are saying about my anti-aging drink recipe:  'Hey Shannon!  I received the products a few days ago and have been using them to make that green drink you posted on Instagram - it is SOO good and I love that it is filled with so many healthy things! I have also noticed an improvement in my skin tone - my mother in law complimented me on it! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe and these products on instagram ;)'  -Erin
