Why is it that the things that taste the best always seem to be the worst for you? Let’s change that thought pattern, and let me show you that yummy, healthy eating…it’s possible!

 

In order to discover this for yourself, you’ll have to do a little mind shifting.  I know I did!

 

Of course we need to eat our veggies…but they can be tasty! Here’s how!

 

One of the new great inventions of late is an air fryer.  Yep, you heard me! Whether it’s broccoli or asparagus, or a piece of cauliflower pizza, this tool can make your veggies taste amazing. Just google a great air fryer recipe for broccoli and you’ll find many.  I love to make mine with just a touch of olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese.  Parmesan is really low in fat and high in flavor and a little goes a long way.  This is great on a variety of veggies like broccoli, asparagus and brussels sprouts.

 

Let your imagination run wild!

Here’s a couple of my favorite recipes you might want to try!  They are healthy and yummy too!  See what you think!

If you don’t have access to an air fryer, don’t worry.  Oven roasted veggies still work and are delicious.  And the combinations are endless!  Try some thin sliced onions with zucchini, garlic salt and parmesan sprinkled lightly over the top.  Or you can add a little starch by doing thinly sliced sweet potatoes or thinly sliced yams mixed with the zucchini.  If you want less salt, try some fresh garlic or garlic powder.  As you start to do this, you’ll start to get ideas of your own.

 

Cauliflower Rice…Who Knew?

 

My favorite veggie that is so flavorful, satisfying and versatile is cauliflower rice.  I buy it frozen already prepared, or you can buy your own and grate it.  Up to you….I just go for easy and effective.  I eat this in place of rice in every dish I used to eat rice in.  And you know what?  I don’t miss it!  Plus I cut way down on carbs, up my veggie intake and get added protein because cauliflower and broccoli both have plant based protein.  This is yummy healthy eating at its finest. Win, win, right?

 

These are just a few ideas to get you started.  Watch for more blog posts as we go.  I’m kind of a foody, so I will share what has been working for me!

 

Oh yeah, and take your vitamins! Duh!

 

If you are like me you probably HATE to take pills.  But here’s the deal…even if you are eating super clean and organic, it’s really hard to get all the nutrients you need from your food.  Our food simply doesn’t have the nutritional punch it did 20 years ago thanks to GMO’s and other growing practices.

 

Look, I’m a farmer’s daughter, and in talking with a few farmers some say that they can’t grow enough food to feed the population without the GMO’s. I don’t know if this is true or not, but it is true that we need added nutrients to bridge that gap.

 

Here’s what I do that REALLY works!

 

I use the Microplex VMz in the Life Long Vitality pack from doTERRA.  These supplements help me bridge that gap from my food with the essential vitamins and minerals my body needs for nutritional support. This is what is really important…they are chelated and bioavailable so they can be used immediately by my body.  Chelated is just a fancy word that means the minerals are more easily absorbed by my body.  Bioavailable also means that the nutrients are ready to be grabbed by my body and used immediately.  This is important because often when I’ve used over the counter supplements my body was unable to break the supplement down and access the vitamins and minerals I needed, and then it just got passed out of my system as waste. I didn’t wind up getting the benefit I thought I would.  That’s a shame.

 

Immune Support too, of course!

 

Microplex VMz also gives the nutritional support for the immune system.  That’s a big deal especially this time of year when seasonal threats are high…and this year it’s even more true.

 

I also combine this with another of the Life Long Vitality products called xEO Mega.  This is a high quality land and sea based omega-3 fatty acid which is so vital to our bodies function and systems. It is also thought that EFA’s (essential fatty acids) can boost the production of white blood cells thus providing more support to our immune system.  So you bet I take these.  Every day.

 

High energy and and no pain…that’s what I want?  Do you?

 

The last of the trio that comes in the Life Long Vitality supplements is called Alpha CRS+.  You can buy the other two without this one, but this one helps with energy production in the cells and promotes healthy immune function in the cells.  That’s just a great way of saying more energy and less discomfort.  Which by the way tends to help me sleep better…so yeah there’s that.

 

For me the ideas I’ve written about today are vital on a daily basis.  Eating right can be fun and tasty.  But I still need help bridging that gap between what I eat and what I need.  This does that for me.  Any hey…they have a full 30 day money back guarantee!  So if you do choose to try them, you won’t be sorry.
