A pie in the sky?

While I do so love the simplicity of the ViSalus Shakes (in that you need only add liquid and shake them), I am enjoying trying more elaborate recipes.

Yesterday I made an Apple Pie recipe. It was quite good! It was not as sweet as I imagined. That’s a good thing though. I was afraid it would be too sweet to enjoy. It was just sweet enough to take away my sweet tooth craving….for the ENTIRE day!

Apple Pie Recipe:
1 small apple cored and sliced 
1 graham cracker
8 oz almond milk
2 scoops Vi Shake
1 tsp vanilla
Shake in cinnamon 

Don't have a blender?? Substitute the apple for 1 c. unsweetened apple sauce and substitute the graham cracker for graham cracker crumbs (or skip the cracker altogether).

Trying Some New Things

I absolutely LOVE ViSalus…both their business (and the way they treat us and their customers) and their products. Another thing I love…there is SO MUCH you can do with a Shake that you can’t possible get sick of the flavour.

Now…I am one who could probably drink the Creamsicle Popsicle (orange juice mixed with the Vi Shake) every day and not be sick of it. However, for 2013 I have decided to make new Shakes and provide feedback. Keep in mind that I am an extremely picky eater.

Yesterday I had the Dr. Oz recommended Shake (with a ViSalus twist) and a cucumber/lime Shake. I was surprised that I liked the Dr. Oz shake. It was not my favourite by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a lot better than I imagined. I’d have it again. The cucumber/lime was actually quite good. I thought it’d be “OK”; it was better than “OK”. It was very refreshing and light. It would make a great summer drink or one when you are in the mood to drink something fresh and cool.

I've included pictures of the shakes…even though the cucumber one doesn't look all that impressive.

Dr. Oz Shake
1/2 c orange juice 
1/2 banana
2 scoops Vi Shake

2 Tbsp oatmeal

Check out this breaking news....

WOW!! Almost two months has passed since I updated my blog. That’s really sad, I must say. Although I have been pre-occupied with dealing with my cancer nonsense, it is not a valid excuse for slacking on my blog. In fact, I have thought about my blog quite often. Finally, I decided to act upon updating it.

15 Days!!! 15 days left of this 90 Day Challenge!! I already updated a “before” video on Facebook. That was a hard thing to do. It took every ounce of courage that I had. I haven’t figured out how to upload a video from my phone onto my blog yet, but my Facebook page is “open” to the public if you want to have a peek. www.facebook.com/visalus2

I definitely have improved…which also means I met my Challenge Goal. However, I am super excited that I have only 15 days left because I am so anxious to post and work towards my next goal!!!
