Shannon’s Favourite Protein Shake Recipe!

Categories: Antioxidants, Protein Shakes, Quick Tips

I absolutely love having smoothies in the morning to start off my day with energy and stamina!  Sometimes later in the afternoon if I am hungry wanting a healthy alternative; having a shake is a great way to go.  When I am in a rush I just do the quick water and powder in my little cup and GO! 

Sometimes customers, friends and family tell me they just don’t have time to make a protein shake, but really it doesn’t take any longer than waiting for your toast!  Just wake up 10 minutes earlier for good measure so you can enjoy your breakfast.  Have your blender handy, have your ingredients handy and if you are famous for letting your fruit go bad, then keep a stash of bananas and an assortment of berries in your freezer.  This way your fruit is always ready when you are.  

So this morning I really enjoyed getting out my “Kitchen Aid” blender and this is the fantastic shake I made that I would like to share with you!

Recipe:

  • 2 scoops of Renew Life Fit SMART (20 grams of protein, 10 grams of FIBRE!) I get the Vanilla flavour because it is the most versatile.
  • Organic strawberries (However many you want)
  • Organic banana (1/2)
  • Organic coconut milk 125ml
  • Water 125ml
  • Walnuts
  • Organic Flax Meal (1 tablespoon)
  • Barlean’s Vegan Omega Swirl 3-6-9 amazing stuff!! (1 tablespoon)
  • BLEND it up!

Tips:

  • Always blend up your frozen fruits and solids first with the liquid.
  • Put your protein powder in last just for a few seconds on stir mode, this is better for the protein and will not destroy it.
  • Keep fruit in the freezer so it doesn’t go bad on you.
  • Berries are the BEST type of fruit to use in your smoothie because they are the richest in antioxidants!  Blueberries are Dr. Oz’s favourite…

As always, thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the shake!  If you want more tips we look forward to you coming to a location near you!  Also, you can look forward to more recipe ideas for protein shakes.  Have a great week everyone.

Barlean’s Omega Swirl Oils

Categories: Brain Health, Joint Health, New Products!, Omega 3's

Barleans Fish, and Vegan Omega Swirl Oils

 

What are Barlean’s Omega Swirls and How are they Different?

Omega Swirls look and taste like a fruit smoothie, yet provides optimal levels of Omega-3 EPA/DHA to bring you vibrant health and energy!

In a clinical study conducted by The Centre for Nutritional Studies, Barlean’s Omega Swirl was found to be 90% more bio-available than standard fish oil, with the total percentage of oil that reached the bloodstream 10-times greater with Omega Swirl than the same dose of fish oil. Because Barlean’s proprietary Swirl technology significantly reduces the size of fish and flax oil molecules, it allows the oil to more efficiently pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. Theoretically, it could take up to 20 standard fish oil gel caps to equal the amount of Omega-3 from just a two tsp. dose of Omega Swirl!

Barlean’s Commitment to Sustainable Fishing

Barlean’s has always been committed to sustainable fishing practices. Since 1972, they have been catching local fish using reef netting, a century old Native American way of harvesting salmon. It is the most unique and ecological method of harvesting wild salmon, allowing the release of untargeted species and other marine life without harm. Currently Barlean’s is among only 11 license holders in the world, and considered by Washington State to be a model of sustainable fishing.

When they decided to enter the fish oil market, they made a commitment to bring their local level of responsibility to a global level. Certain species of fish are endangered, and specific oceans are, in fact, over-fished. They are committed to do whatever they can to ensure the health of these ecosystems for generations to come.

Fish Oil

Barlean’s Fresh Catch Fish Oil is sourced from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru, and comes only from small body fish (anchovies and sardines). The crude oil is actually a byproduct of fish meal production, an industry that is highly regulated and has been wellmanaged for more than 50 years. Less than 10% of the crude fish oil is processed and used for human and pet consumption.

Cod Liver Oil

Barlean’s Cod Liver Oil is sourced locally in Norway, from the straits between the Lofoten Islands. Here we fish for the Arctic Cod, which is often confused with the Atlantic Cod, a species that is in decline. Arctic Cod populations, on the other hand, are healthy, and harvesting is managed on a quota system.

Alive and chains have had Barleans for a little while now and they are truly a clean fish oil that has the added benefit of tasting good!  If you have been recommended to take a fish oil, but you always avoid it due to the taste come on in and try a swirl!  As always thank you for reading and we will see you soon at a location near you.
