So even though it’s best to stay clear from
too much alcohol, it is the Festive Season after all and we do understand that
does involve some drinking for some! It’s important to make your Herbalife
lifestyle a balanced one so that you don’t feel like you are restricting
yourself too much or on diet... so please have fun! .... *however* always be
mindful of your health and your body during this time. Always stay hydrated
with LOADS of water if you are drinking and make sure you know how many cals
most drinks contain. Here is a guideline 😊
🍸
_Ingredients_
1 shot vodka
2 strawberries
1 can of tonic water
lime sugar
_Instructions_
Wash fruits
Slice 2 strawberries and half a lime. (wedges for squeezing lime juice and a
slice for garnish)
Pour a small amount of sugar onto a plate.
Prep the bar glass by taking a lime slice and sliding along glass rim.
Immediately put the glass rim in the plate of sugar.
The sugar will stick nicely to the lime soaked glass rim. Add 1 sliced
strawberries and squeeze 3 slices of lime into glass.
Muddle slightly to release the strawberry and lime juices. Add one shot of
vodka
Fill glass with ice and the other slices of strawberry and top off with tonic
water. Garnish with a lime slice.
Rosemary Grapefruit Mocktail*
Ingredients
freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (about 1
grapefruit)
1/2 teaspoon - 1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey sparkling water
1 tiny pinch of cardamom
1 tiny pinch of sea salt
1 sprig of rosemary
ice cubes
Instructions
Add ice cubes to a medium-sized glass.
Pour grapefruit juice, agave nectar, and sparkling water in over ice cubes.
Add cardamom and salt (just a tiny pinch) and stir to dissolve agave nectar and
mix spices in.
Add rosemary sprig, garnish with a slice of grapefruit if desired, and serve
right away. Recipe can easily be multiplied to make multiple drinks or even a
pitcher full.
[12/4/2023 07:03] +27 83 324 1698: A nice way to make yummy & healthy
beverage options is just to cut up loads of fruit and have some nice ways to
decorate your glasses such as flowers (or can use fruit).
Combining sparkling water with a shot of freshly squeezed fruit juice and
adding slices of fruit to your glass / jug makes beautiful and yummy drinks!
AND you stay well hydrated ☺️
*Personally I love my Mango Aloe with
Sparkling Water and mint leaves or slices of fruit. It is SO refreshing, it’s
good for my gut health and it keeps me hydrated - a win win! 🌟*
[12/13/2023 05:52] +27 72 940 8853: #2 Hydration:
Sometimes we can drink loads of water, but through perspiring and lots of
water, we can actually "wash away" the electrolytes in our bodies
which are essential for our bodies (kidney and brain and muscle functions, to
name a few). Electrolytes are essential minerals like sodium, potassium,
magnesium, chloride and calcium.
Try either our HYDRATE 24 or CR7 DRIVE to give
you a delicious refreshing zingy rehydrate.
💦CR7 is
generally used along with some exercise. It has 102 calories per serving -
fresh acai berry flavour.
💦 HYDRATE 24
is also used during exercise but also fine for an everyday drink at the office
or at home or while travelling - only 13 calories - virtually nothing!
Lemon/citrus flavour. Fabulously refreshing. 🍋
Both also fantastic for the "after party
effect" 😂🥳 - remember
alcohol dehydrates you!!!
And electrolytes help with muscle cramps too.
And if there are gastro bugs that cause diarrhoea or vomiting, both of these
would make a lovely re-hydrate.
Make into healthy ice lollies 🍡🍧 for the children.
I wanted to chat about HOLIDAY MINDSET for a second ❤️ I just wanted to remind everyone that we are
not on a diet ever with Herbalife! Herbalife is a LIFESTYLE and a lifestyle
that you can take with you through any season in life 💃🏾
As we start December I want to encourage you to ditch the “I’ll start again in Jan” mindset and to embrace the fact that you can LEAN on your products and programme through the holidays to help you feel GOOD!!
December is not the time to give up your healthy habits - it’s the time to USE them! This is the time of year that we as coaches are always prepping you for … we want everyone to feel healthy and energetic in December and go into the new year feeling energy & body confidence!!
Can you have fun over the Festive Season??
ABSOLUTELY
Can you lean on your programme to help you feel good while you are having fun?
OF COURSE 😍 that’s
what it’s there for.
A few tips for you:
🥤Make sure
that breakfast is always a shake and tea! Yes you can still go out for
breakfast. That will then count as your mid morn snack 💃🏾 but shake and tea is key
for hydration, antioxidants, nutrients, protein and fibre and ENERGY for the
day! You can also have fun with your shakes and make waffles 🧇 or flapjacks 🥞
💪🏻 Make sure you don’t stop snacking! Protien helps you feel satisfied and it also helps those energy levels. It will also mean you don’t overeat / binge.
💦 Water water water! Hydration is key always ! But even more so if you are eating a little more than usual / different foods / drinking alcohol. Keep that water up 👏🏻
🌾 Multifibre to clean out that tummy 🧹 yes you may find that you’ve overeaten or eaten foods you don’t usually eat. No problem! Lean on our gut cleaning product to help you 😍
🥤Remember that a shake is low in calories! So if you find you’ve overdone it a bit - just swap the next meal for a shake and you’ll drop those calories easily (without compromising on your protein and nutrients)
🏃🏽♀️ Get active! It’s a wonderful time of the year to get active with your family and pets. Move your body through Dec - it will thank you!
🚀 Ask your coach about Holiday Juice! It’s a secret weapon to help you feel fab when you are extra social 😅
These are just a few! We will keep them coming throughout December 💃🏾
So as we head into December, remember… now is
not the time to ditch the healthy habits you’ve built this year .. it’s time to
lean into them 😍
Our gut cleanse products aloe + multifibre
are a fantastic tool for a healthy gut! This is a great tool to use during the
Festive Season to keep that tummy happy and clean 🧹
Here is why:
*Why Multifibre?*
🍃it
increases your daily fibre intake
🍃your gut
gets clogged up with gunk from eating the wrong foods, multifibre gently sweeps
the gut clean of all this gunk.
🍃A clean gut
can finally function properly!
🍃multifibre
absorbs saturated fats from foods and allows your body to easily get rid of
them 🚽 (a must
have after every treat meal!🤫)
🍃keeps you
regular 💩
🍃bloat -
buster !!! Flat tummy here we come 👙
🍃fibre also
keeps your feeling fuller for longer :)
*Why Aloe:*
🍃it also
cleanses the gut and is so good for soothing your tummy
🍃helps with
digestion greatly! (I can't cope after a big meal without a glass of water with
aloe. I find it really takes away that full, heavy feeling)
🍃adds
flavour to your water and tea so you drink more
🍃healthy
"juice" for the kids too!
Energy is so key to feeling great, having fun
and feeling happy!
And sometimes you actually need more of it in the holidays 🤣
A few tips:
🥤Always
start your day with your shake and tea ☕️ even if
you are going out for breakfast! (Your food at the restaurant will just count
as a mid morn snack in that case). This ensures that you stabilize those blood
sugars levels in the morning (key to energy), hydrate and get in your protein
and nutrients!
💪🏻 Don’t skip the snacks! Don’t be tempted to skip a snack because you’ve had a heavy meal somewhere along the line and don’t want to eat more. This will leave you feeling sluggish. Continue your protein snacks every day regardless of whether your day looks different to normal because it keeps your blood sugar levels stable and that energy up! You can always use PDM as a liquid snack if need be. Or your Holiday Juice 😍
💦 Stay hydrated - KEY for your energy!
🌲 Get active in nature - it will give you a lovely boost
☕️ Energy tea
- need i say more?
Be sure to get nice and active today & tomorrow so that you are
burning all those extra calories you may be consuming 😀 You don't have to hit the gym - why not try a
nice family walk / hike to do something different 💕💕😘😘
*Reminders:*
🥛shake for breakfast, always !! Even if you are going out for breakfast you need to have your shake first. It repairs & nourishes your body and keeps your blood sugar levels stable, therefore keeping you in your fat burning zone!
🍃🥕when at a social gathering- fill up on healthy foods first, don't go straight to the treats 🍩.
💧stay hydrated - get those 2-3L water in !!
☕️ drink lots of Herbalife tea to burn some extra calories (burns 80 cals per cup 🔥)
🚴🏽♀️ get active this weekend! It's a great way to spend time with the family too 🤗
🥜 don't compromise on your protein over the next few days! It's key to keeping you in your fat burning zone 🔥if you are too full to do snacks then use your PDM in water to sip on throughout the day.
🍾 when drinking, try to stick with spirits / spritzers to stay hydrated. (Vodka, soda & lime 🍋 is a great one or white wine with sparkling water 💦)
☺️ and most importantly *enjoy & have
FUN.* This lifestyle is all about balance so please don't deprive yourself,
just use our tips to stay healthy throughout this period. If you want
something, have it! But don't just eat loads of junk because it's the festive
season and it's "what you normally do" ... remember that we are
living a new healthy, balanced lifestyle now and your habits have changed 🤗🤗😘😘 x x x
1. Keep it simple_
Don't get caught up in the idea that you have to spend hours in the kitchen to serve up an amazing Christmas feast. A simple Greek Salad, with Roast Potatoes and Beef Mince Kebabs can be JUST as delicious and filling, as an 8 hour slow cooked ham and 20 ingredient salad.
Choose recipes that are easy to follow, require minimal ingredients and don't require you to spend hours in the kitchen.
_2. It's all about the sides_
Never underestimate the power of sides. Yes,
your choice of mains (e.g. meats, turkey, baked tofu) is important but the
SIDES are what make an amazing feast. Instead of focusing on having a loads of
different mains, choose your top 2 and then steer your attention to your sides.
Load up your plate with a variety of different salads and roasted and grilled
veggies!
_3. Healthy eating is possible_
It's easy to associate Christmas with loads of decadent food but in my experience healthy eating is very possible. Loading your plate up with good proteins and a variety of salads and veggies is a delicious, satisfying and yet nourishing way to enjoy Christmas!
_4. Get prepared early_
A bit of preparation and organisation goes a long way when it comes to Christmas! Sit down, plan your menu and then get the food shopping done.
_5. Make the day before_
The best thing you can do is utilise Christmas Eve day to cook and get everything ready for the next day. Make sure your all the meats and/or tofu are chopped and marinated, and ready to go straight in the oven or on the braai on Christmas Day. Pre-chop all your veggies to roast. A tip is to go through your recipes and highlight anything that can be done the day before, even if it's just part of a recipe - like chopping up the veg!
I hope you enjoy these tips 💖🎄🎄
I’m on holiday and I always pack my nutrition
to come with me because our bodies still need all the vitamins and minerals we
get from the shake & protein drink mix! It’s a complete multivitamin! On 4
Jan it’s my 12 year anni! Can you believe! 😍 consistency is the key 🥳 make it part of your lifestyle and it gets
easier and easier and easier 👌🏽
2-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE QUINOA CRUNCH BITES*
Ingredients:
200g (7oz) dark chocolate, melted – I used 70% dark chocolate
35g (1 1/2 cups) quinoa pops
(Quinoa pops - put pan on the stove at a high temp. Poor desired amount of uncooked quinoa into pan. A thin layer so the quinoa isn’t overlapping. Wait for a popping sound and allow quinoa to “pop” for a few mins. Don’t over do as they will burn.)
Method:
Melt the chocolate and leave to cool for a couple of minutes, then fold in the
quinoa pops.
Use a small ice cream scoop to shape into small bite, and arrange onto a baking
sheet lined with parchment paper.
Move to the fridge and allow to set for 15-30 minutes.
Enjoy!
Honey and Cinnamon Grilled Peaches*
🍑Wash and slice peaches in half.
🍑Remove pits, and brush both sides of the peach with olive oil.
🍑Grill over indirect heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until both sides are caramelized from the grill grates.
🍑Heat half a cup of honey in a small microwave safe bowl for 30 to 45 seconds.
🍑Whisk in the cinnamon.
🍑Serve over
the warm peaches with ice - cream.

Some nice tips headed your way over the next
few days to kickstart your month 👋🏽
Look at all this goodness in one shake 🌸🔥 this is what makes it a
WHOLE meal!!! Packed with nutrition and great for the whole family!
Now is a good time to ask yourself : AM I EATING
ENOUGH FIBRE? 🍃🍃🍃 you’ll see
amazzzing health benefits from being FIBRE FOCUSED 😎 here are some great examples of foods high in
fibre.
*Here’s a great example : Your Herbalife Formula 1 Shake Mix has 4.2g of fibre
per serving + PDM is 0.9g fibre. If you have two shakes a day with protein
drink mix & a portion of Multifibre you are over half way to your fibre
intake each day 👌🏽 with
fruit, veg & complex carbs in your meals & snacks this is so
achievable!*
The fibre secret 🤫 It’s a common thought pattern when achieving
goals to AVOID carbohydrates… this is something we want to avoid! Complex
Carbohydrates & fruit and veg have an amazing amount of fibre in that is
incredibly important and nutritious for our bodies! We encourage you NOT to cut
carbs but choose ones that are aid your digestive system 🌾🌾
Our gut plays a big part in our overall health,
so taking in more fibre has many health benefits!
We need 25g of fibre a day but most people don't even eat half the recommended amount 😱
MULTIFIBRE
🌱5g of fibre
per serving
🌱6 different
sources of fibre - apple, oats, citrus, maize, chicory and soya
🌱Contains
both soluble and insoluble fibre
Fibre is great as it helps keep us feeling full!
Also know as nature’s broom 🧹it assists in "sweeping" our digestive system, helping all the little villi stand up, allowing for better nutrient absorption.
Insoluble fibre is not broken down in the gut and adds bulk to the waste in the digestive system. This helps to keep us regular with a smooth move 😉
Soluble fibre has many benefits, one of which helps boost the population of good bacteria 🦠 in our gut. This is essential in aiding a healthy immune system 💪🏿💪🏼
Multifibre is so easy to add to ones daily routine, pop it into your shake or even mix it into a glass of water. It's a great way to help get your 25g of fibre in every day 🌱
P.S. You can also make yourself a delicious
high Fibre snack with our Multifibre and Protein Drink Mix.
Cranberry & White chocolate F1 Express Bars* 🍫 these are a top fav for any any time but a
fabulous change up in the seasons, great for lunchboxes & also for on the
go!
The shake in a bar form 😋
A recipe to have with them is to finely chop up a bar & sprinkle it over plain yoghurt, half a chopped banana and cinnamon.
