{Encouraging Healthy} Smoothees and Giveaway

Whether you are trying to lose 5 or 10 plus pounds or just trying to stay lean and healthy, it's not always easy or fun.  There were times I just wanted a quick fix or didn't see results right away, so I gave up.  I've gone up and down with my weight pretty much my whole life for different reasons.  Sometimes it was stress related and one time just trying to lose the extra baby weight.  


As you can see from the photo collage above, my weight has fluctuated for years.  But for about a year now, I've been able to completely stop "dieting" because I have found a healthy way to live and gained more energy to keep up with my fast growing toddler.

The Smoothees from Shaklee 180, formally know as Cinch, has been one of the greatest changes in my eating lifestyle.  I start out every morning with a Smoothee and change it up everyday.  There are so many fun recipes to explore with, that I never get bored.

What's so special about Shaklee 180 Smoothees and what makes it different from other shakes out there?  Shaklee 180 Smoothees are a quick and healthy answer to, "what's for breakfast?" or "what's for lunch?"  They are a great-tasting, nutritious way to help retain that all-important muscle and keep you feeling full and satisfied while you lose weight.  Shaklee's proprietary formula is Powered by Leucine, the amino acid that signals the body to preserve muscle during weight loss.  In other words, the leucine in these Smoothees helps you keep muscle so you lose fat.  They come in four delicious flavors, including vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and cafe latte.

What benefits does Shaklee's Smoothees provide?
  • 24 grams of hunger fighting protein
  • 6 grams of fiber
  • Powered by Leucine 
  • 23 vitamins and minerals
  • Non-GMO soy protein
  • Low glycemic. GI Value: 31
  • No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives added
  • Gluten free, lactose free
Protein is not just for bodybuilders and athletes - it is essential to everyone!  The word protein means 'of first importance'.  Next to water, protein is the most abundant substance in the body.  Protein molecules (which consists of a number of amino acids linked together) are the basic building blocks for everything in the body - bones, muscles, organs, blood, arteries, hormones, tissues, antibodies (bacteria/disease fighters), enzymes, digestive substances, skin, nails, hair, blood cells, etc.  Adequate daily intake of high quality, balanced, complete protein is essential to facilitate the growth, repair and healing of any and all body parts and functions.  

These awesome Smoothees are part of the Shaklee 180 program to help you lose weight or stay lean and healthy.  This is a great program which allows you to get your products for free, just by finding 3 people to join you on your healthy journey!  Encouraging Healthy is excited to be giving away a Smoothee Sample plus recipes to 3 blessed readers.  Simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below to enter.  There are no mandatory entries, however, the more you complete, the better your chances at winning.

The Turnaround Kit gives you everything you need for the first 90 days to lose the weight and the Lean and Healthy Kit gives you everything you need for the next 90 days to learn how to keep the weight off. That's why it's called Shaklee 180. To see the ingredients, visit our site http://encouraginghealthy.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=WeightManagement&sub_cat=shaklee180kits. This will give you more details.

    1. Great question! With the Shaklee 180 program, you can have a shake or a meal bar for lunch. As far as what makes it different is what is actually in the products. Slim Fast has lots of artificial ingredients and additives that shouldn't be in our foods. Shaklee 180 contains all natural and organic ingredients . . . there are no artificial flavors or preservatives. Shaklee 180 is also the only protein that contains leucine. I hope that helps!

    1. There are more then just shake options for snacks. Actually, the shakes are meal replacements. The snacks include snack bars, snack crisps and energy tea. With the app, you track your calories, so you can always add in fruit, yogurt or any other snack that would fit into your calorie count.
