Living at the creek, it just seems natural that you'd want to stay healthy. I've always thought of myself as healthy, but lately I've had to rethink that. I have a lot of weight to lose and my arthritis and that extra weight on my joints has limited what I can do.
I recently started using Herbalife products to get back to real health again. I've already dropped some weight. I had to tighten my belt and, believe it or not, tighten my sandals. Who knew I had fat feet! I feel better and I'm doing more. My knees are already thanking me.
The mainstay of my Herbalife health program is their Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix. It's a meal replacement shake with 20 essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients, plus 9g of protein and healthy fiber for the weight management I need. Twice a day I've replaced my not-so-healthy meals with Formula 1 shakes. Formula 1 comes in seven flavors, so there's plenty of variety. I add yogurt and fruit to mine. I make a double batch in the morning, and turn the blender back on when I have my second shake of the day.
My favorite double batch recipe is:
8oz of plain yogurt,
12oz of water,
1/3 cup of nonfat powdered milk,
4 scoops of french vanilla or dutch chocolate Formula 1 shake mix,
2tbsp of herbalife personalized protein powder,
2 small bananas.
The night before you make your shakes break the bananas into four pieces each and put them in the freezer. In the morning throw six pieces of banana and all the other ingredients into the blender and blend on high for 30 seconds. Pour half of that in a large glass and enjoy it for breakfast. Put the blender in the fridge.
Later in the day take the blender out of the fridge, add the last two frozen banana pieces, and blend on high for 30 seconds again. Now you've got your second Formula 1 meal of the day. It's simple, fast, and you're on your way to being healthier and happier. Your knees will thank you :)
