About Juice Plus+

Adding more fruits and vegetables into your diet, and the diet of your children, is one of the most common things I hear of according to Newlife wellness.. There is only so much room in our bellies and on our plates to get the daily nutrients we need to maintain a healthy body. Luckily there are sites like goodnature.com that have juice recipes that means we can cram more fruit and veg in our daily diet. Trying to help our kids bodies grow and develop in a healthy manner requires the amazing mineral, vitamins and nutrients found in real, from the earth produce. I can buy fruit juice with some veggies in it. Some pasta sauce that has a tiny bit of vegetables blended in. But how much are they really getting in their bodies?

 

If you want to increase your key antioxidants, reduce oxidative stress, support a healthy immune system, skin and gums as well as protect your DNA – then you are need to try Juice Plus+read more here

Juice Plus not just a vitamin. This is because Juice Plus+ provides whole food based nutrition. There are 20 fruits and vegetables in their convenient and tasty gummies (adults consume 4 gummies daily; children consume 2 gummies daily). Juice Plus+ uses real, actual fruits and vegetables and in their products. They begin with the highest quality, farm fresh produce grown by some of the best farmers in the world. Once a fruit or vegetable is picked, it begins to decrease in nutritional value. They solved the issue of reducing that valuable decrease time by locating juicing and drying facilities as close to their partner farms as possible. When there is not a facility close enough they use a process called Individual Quick Freezing, to ensure the freshness of every single vegetable and fruit used in their products. They constantly test their soil where the produce is grown to make sure it is in perfect condition of optimal health.

The Study provides Juice Plus+® Orchard Blend and Juice Plus+® Garden Blend free to your child between the ages of 4-18 or full-time undergraduate college student for up to four years, so long as you continue to take Juice Plus+®, too.

 

Juice Plus+ is the approved by the NSF and is the most thoroughly researched brand-name nutritional product on the market today.

There have been over 30 published clinic studies done to confirm the amazing benefits of Juice Plus+. Even the famous Dr Sears recommends children to take Juice Plus+. I was blown away by how many medical professionals are standing behind Juice Plus+, internal medicine, sports medicine, cardiology, biochemists, glaucoma specialists, pediatrics, dentistry, infectious diseases…the list goes on!

Mama’s Experience

I was able to review 3 of the top products available of Juice Plus+: the chewables, the shakes and the bars. Each had some awesome things about it I cannot wait to share with you.

Juice Plus+ Orchard Blend & Garden Blend – Chewables

fruits and vegatables

The chewables come in 3 varieties: Orchard Blend, Garden Blend and Vineyard Blend. Each has it’s own unique mixture of fruits and vegetables. The sweetness that is in each one comes from the use of tapioca syrup and organic cane syrup. This makes them taste and feel just like a chewable gummy you would buy as a snack. The huge difference in these is that they are good for you and GMO-free! It’s like eating a plate of vegetables but tastes like a fruit snack!

I love how these chewables taste! I feel like I am eating a sweet sugary snack because they are so good. You need to be sure to keep these out of reach from children, no joke. They are so good your kids are going to want more and more, but they really cannot be eaten in large qualities. Adults should eat 4 chewables per day and children should eat 2 chewables per day.

There are days that I cannot get in the required vegetables and fruits that my body needs. Now I don’t have to let that stop me. You will always have enough room to eat a few small chewables and BAM! It helped to bridge the gap between what you should eat and actually do eat.

Juice Plus+ Complete Variety Drink Mix

Shakes have become a daily routine in my life as well as many others. Its a fast and easy way to get your body the boost in the morning that you are looking for, but without the bother of sitting down for a ‘real meal’. As a busy mom, I don’t have time to feed myself a full breakfast like I do my kids. I shouldn’t have to sacrifice my health and a smart start to my day due to a crazy schedule. Now, I can easily have a smoothie and drink it on the go as I drive my kids to school, the library or whatever adventure the day may have for us.

dutch chocolate juice plus

Juice Plus+ Complete Drink Mix’s are so tasty and versatile. They can be used as an on-the-go drink, pre-workout, post-workout or as a late night snack when you just crave that something sweet. Each serving has 13 grams of protein, 8 grams of fiber and less than 1 gram of fat. This allows you to feel full without feeling gross.

Shakes can be hand shaken in a to-go blender bottle or put in your counter-top blender. You can blend with ice, water, milk, almond or soy milk. You can also spice them up with frozen or fresh berries (which is awesome with the Vanilla flavor).

When you order these shakes you will get 2 bags of Chocolate and 2 bags of Vanilla. Each bags contains 15 servings. Averaging you out to a shake very other day. Its the perfect way to boost your health.

Juice Plus+ Complete Variety Nutrition Bars

Snack nutrition bars are my go to in between meal snack. When I get hungry at 10 am and 2 pm. Theses are the times I need something easy to eat when multitasking between folding laundry and cleaning up play-doh but also trying to help my 2 year old build a train track which will be destroyed 5 minutes later. I can’t snack all day. I need something that can hold me over until my next meal. I love Juice Plus+ bars for this type of situation. I can take a few bites here and there and BAM! I am full. They are packed with 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. They are GMO-Free, vegetarian. gluten-free and non-dairy. When you buy a subscription to these bars you will get 1 case of 30 Dark Chocolate + Fig and 1 case of 30 Tart Cherry + Honey. When you pay in a 1 time payment option they are as low as $1.95 each! That is a bargain compared to most bars on the market.

Nutrition Bars Juice Plus+

The Tart Cherry + Honey was such a fresh taste. I loved the sweetness of the honey paired with the sour cherries. It was a burst of flavor for sure. The Dark Chocolate + Fig had that rich deep chocolate flavor I love in a treat. The small soy crisps layer in made me feel like I was eating a candy bar, not a healthy choice snack.

With all the incredible research, the health benefits, the high standing ethics for their ingredients growth and manufacturing, coupled with the taste and price, there is no reason why you shouldn’t try out at least one of the products I reviewed above. Plus the free child sponsorship, getting your child free chewable gummies to help their development. It’s a no brainer.

Mama’s Experience

I feel in love with Gorilly Goods at first bite. Seriously. I called a friend like that instant they were so good. I like nuts. I mean they are good tasting and good for you, but totally not my go to snack. I need something “more” when I want a snack. There are that “more”! Gorilly Goods is packed with protein, which is what you want in a snack. Protein will give you that filling feeling you need. Otherwise you will keep snacking and the calories will keep adding up. Choosing a high protein snack like Gorilly Goods is going to help curb your appetite and help the health conscious like myself with my weight loss goals.

I have tried each of the 3 amazing snacks Gorilly Goods has created. Each has some awesome aspects to them

original Jungle (AKA Original)

This snack is their basic snack pack. Its a combination of organic bananas, organic cashew, organic pecans, organics coconut, organic walnuts, organic raisins, organics coconut nectar and sea salt.

That is it. Just good, plain old organic ingredients. This is what makes Gorilly Goods stand out. It’s not just nuts. It’s a cluster of nuts held together with nectar, amazing, healthy, nectar, and awesome bananas.

What I loved about this is how you can taste the light salt of the nut and the sweetness of the raisins and nectar. It was not sweet and it was not savory but it was satisfying and addicting!

Forest (AKA Chocolate)chocolate

This is the snack for us sweet toothed snackers. I love chocolate. Like I love it A LOT! I cannot give it up. I need to have a little bit of sweetness daily or every other day. If I don’t give myself a little fun I will ruin my hard work and eat a full blow chocolate cake! LOL! This is my perfect go to snack. I need to get that satisfied full feeling but I want my chocolate. The harmony between the two in this is mind blowing. My husband likes sweets like an average person does (not crazy-like like myself) and he really likes this treat. When he wants a special snack, this is what he reaches for.

This treat is made with organic bananas, organic chocolate, organic cashew, organic pecans, organics coconut, organic walnuts, organic raisins, organics coconut nectar and sea salt.

Sound familiar? It is just like the Jungle (original) mentioned above just this one is dipped in heavenly organic chocolate. Yuuuuum!

savoryHillside (Savory)

This is the snack that you want when you are not seeing that sweet tooth but need that fun, crunchy filling snack. I love how natural this snack tastes. I know its good for me, but it tastes like it is a full meal. It has such bursts of full flavors that you keep coming back for another bite. I love this for hikes, days out in nature and after a hard workout.

The Hillside is made with organic pumpkin seeds, organic kale, organics tamari, organic onion, organic nutritional yeast, organic cayenne *contains soy.

If you love kale chips or kale salad, you are going to love this snack.

Bummis All In One Diaper Review

Bummis All In One Diaper Review

bummis AIO

Available now at  www.GreenMountainDiapers.com

Bummis AIO buttBummis has just released a their new AIO cloth diaper (all-in-one). An AIO diaper is when there are no removable inserts. You don’t need to stuff any extra absorbent piece into the diaper. They are literally all in one.  They are great for ease of use. No time to pre-stuff the diaper. They are quick to prep. The main ‘con’ that cloth diaper users seem to have with AIO style diapers is the length of time they take to dry after being washed. Being that they are AIO they are thicker and have more material as part of their design. This naturally causes them to take longer to dry. I drip dry all of my cloth diapers. When you place a cloth diaper in the dryer with medium to high heat the elastic that is found in the waist and around the leg gussets will warm up. When elastic gets warm time after time it can loose is elasticity and integrity. You NEVER want to pull on a cloth diaper straight out of the dryer! If you pull hot elastic it cannot and will not go back to it’s original tightness.

AIO diapers come in different designs if you will. Each brand have their own design which makes them unique. I really like what Bummis came up with for this new AIO cloth diaper. When you open this diaper it has a an absorbent organic cotton liner. This is what will be up against your child and what will catch everything. It is slightly textured which is great to keep things stay put if you will when bowel movements occur. Don’t get me wrong though, the contents are going to shift and move in there as the kids moves around, but I feel like this feature does help keep things not move around as much.

The Bummis AIO has a long extra piece of the same organic textured material, this is referred to as a doubler. A doubler helps give extra absorbency to a diaper – extending how much it can hold.  This can be laid on top of the diaper against your child skin or ‘stuffed’ underneath/inside the diaper. Because the doubler is permanently attached to the diaper and will never be removed, this diaper is still considered an All-In-One.

Bummis AIO how to stuff

Underneath the main layer, where you would stuff the doubler if you choose too, is an extra layer of material. You can feel it in there and peek in to view. After washing and drying this inside layer can get shifted around. It is attached on both ends but not on the sides lengthwise. Before I stuff the doubler in this pocket (because that is how I like to have my son wear this diaper), I stick my hand in the pocket and smooth down this extra layer. During washes this layer will roll up and sort of bunch up. I feel like I wouldn’t want to wear the diaper with that slight bumpiness to it, so I like to smooth it out for my child. I believe it makes it more comfortable for him, as well as more effective. If the cloth bunched all up in the middle then its not as effective on the sides towards the legs and could possibly cause a leak. I have NEVER had a leak from the diaper, but I think this user error could cause a leak especially with boys who pee out leg holes.

Overall here are the best parts of the Bummis AIO:
  • Easy to wash (only 1 wash to prep needed)
  • Fast to dry 
  • Nice leg gussets

Mama’s Experience

There are so many places to shop now-a-days. It can be hard to find one you can trust and rely on. When I found out about Y Grow Up, I knew there was something special going on. They focused on products that are truley educational and fun. Ones that will bear fruit when a child plays with it. Toys that are more than just toys. As a mom I only have so much room in my house. I cannot handle too much clutter. I mean are these toys spawning and making clones?! HAHA! I joke of course. But seriously, when it comes down to it, after having 2 kids now I see how useless some toys can be. If I am going to spend my money, or have a friend or relative buy a gift for my kids I want it to be special.  I want it to be a useful toy that will be played with. One that will help educate them while they play. All of these things can be found with YGrowUp.net. This is a special website. They are not just out to make a buck and sell you toys. Y Grow Up honestly wants to provide us with the best possible toy options on the market. They are constantly on the search for the newest and best toys out there. They really do the dirty work for us. She even has her site organized so that I can shop in ways that are best for me. I like to shop by age and by skill.

I love how easy the site is to navigate. With tabs at the top of the screen and the left side bar, I can click around and find fun and unique toys I never knew existed. Their format makes each item easy to see, read and click on. It’s really dummy proof, which tired moms everywhere need. They tagged every toy with keywords that you are see when you click on them. You can easily find more toys by typing in any key word into the search bar or by clicking the key word as show below.

You can live chat with a rep to help you with your shopping and all your questions. They are fast, helpful and polite. You may even get to chat with the owner! The chat box is easy to find and use. Look at the bottom right hand corner of the screen to find the small circle, it may be a picture of a persons face or an orange circle (if you have used the chat feature previously it will turn to an orange circle). This will allow you to instantly connect with YGrowUp.Net.

barnyard activity set

I was able to try out one of the phenomenal toys sold at ygrowup.net – the Guidecraft Barnyard Activity Boxes

This is now my favorite toy my children play with. This barnyard is perfect for children ages 2+. My son, age 2 and my daughter, age 3, equally love playing with this Barnyard Activity Boxes set. This toys helps us work on things like, shapes, spacial awareness, cognitive, color matching, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination language skills, matching skills, problem solving, shapes, thinking skills. I love that its made with quality wood and beautiful bright colors.

Barnyard activity boxes

My 2 year old likes to match the animal to the correct house. He can recognize the same color and match them using color matching skills. We make the animal noises the animal would make. This helps with building confidence in knowing these real animals we see while driving around (we live in the country). My best friend has 6 chickens for goodness sake! He loves being able to peek into the iridescent window to see if there are animals inside the box just as much as he loves opening and closing the tiny door.

My 3 year old loves to work on her counting skills with the animals. We work on finding all the animals in a particular color, then count them out loud together. I have introduced basic addition by talking about if we put 2 chickens and 1 horse together how many animals will we have? (it’s 3 if I stumped you) She also loves to help her little brother with his animal noises and color matching.
