At Arbonne we love our shots…the kind that fuel us through our day that is! And the best kind of shots don’t make you wait until night time to enjoy…Glow Shot for the win!
Arbonne Greens Balance is a blend of 34 different fruits and vegetables. This is how we “taste the rainbow” without a sugar crash. Greens Balance has a variety of colors of fruits and vegetables which provides a variety of nutrients we may not otherwise give our body in just our regular eating habits. Let’s face it we are creatures of habit and reach for the same few fruits and vegetables time and time again in the grocery store.
It also has prebiotic fiber, this is food for our gut bacteria. They help us breakdown and absorb our food. The reason this concept of “taste the rainbow” is so crucial is because it will fuel our body with a large variety of nutrients. Check out these facts:
■ Greens such as spirulina, kale, artichoke, broccoli, spinach, alfalfa, barley grass, and wheat grass contain chlorophyll, and vitamins A, K and E
■ Reds such as pomegranate, cherry, red coffee bean and tomato provide antioxidants including vitamin C, flavonoids, and polyphenols
■ Yellows such as pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, papaya and mango contain vitamins A and C along with antioxidant bioflavonoids and alpha and beta-carotene
■ Blues such as blueberry, blackcurrant, purple sweet potato, and elderberry are sources of antioxidants, resveratrol and vitamin C
Ok ok, so I’ve dropped some nerdy holistic knowledge on you there, but come on, that’s some exciting stuff! Now back to these shots in the morning. Here’s what you need to fuel you body with energy, brighten your skin and balance your gut all in one shot!
Step 1: Add one scoop of Greens Balance to your glass or shaker. I use my Arbonne shaker to better blend everything up.
Step 2: Add one pack stick of Skin Elixir to the glass or shaker. This will boost your glowing skin from the inside out by building up the collagen your body loses as we age. Plus it will add a nice Acai flavor to your shot!
Step 3: Add one pack stick of Digestion Plus to the glass or shaker. This probiotic is botanically derived from chicory root to support a healthy gastrointestinal tract and help feed the probiotics in the gut, allowing the ingredients to function optimally and deliver maximum benefits. Say good bye to bloat!
Step 4: Add 4-8 ounces of water to the glass or shaker. The portion is up to your taste preference.
Step 5: Add 1 tbsp Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar.
Step 6: Shake or Stir the drink.
Step 7: Take it down like a champ! Cheers!
This is a great start to your day! Not only will you have already consumed a full serving of fruits and vegetables before most people’s coffee has even brewed, but you will also improve your skin and digestive tract. I’m not sure there is any better way to get your mind and body ready for a kick-ass day of healthy choices!
The decisions you make at the start of your day have such an influence on your decisions the remainder of the day. So mix it up and take your shot!
The first one won’t be easy, but your body will start to crave those nutrients and you won’t ever look back!
