Do you get enough greens in your diet? Do you need help getting your kids to eat their veggies?? We have a solution!
ENTER the 8G Essential Greens Booster!!!!!
We’ve been talking about meal prepping to maintain a healthy lifestyle and one of the things that I often find hard to get in is my leafy vegetables. Don’t get me wrong, I can eat a POUND of broccoli in one sitting. No joke. I love salads and all the green veggies (except for celery). BUT those veggies are also the first to go bad and when you are trying to avoid the grocery store and be prepped for a month of meals it can be tricky to get your greens in.
Dark green leafy vegetables are perhaps the most potent superfood on the planet. If you consider the powerful dose of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients that we get from spinach, kale, chard, collards, dandelion and other greens, it’s a wonder we can’t live without them.
Leafy green vegetables have more nutrition per calorie than any other food. Greens make up a significant source vitamins A, C, E and K as well as several B vitamins. They are rich sources of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium. They are rich in fiber, extremely low in fat and carbohydrates and provide an excellent source of protein.
8G Essential Greens Booster is an effervescent tablet with only nine calories per tablet that packs a nutritional punch and tastes great, too. One tablet has as much vitamin C as five oranges, as much vitamin B5 as 20 cups of broccoli, as much vitamin B3 as 18 cups of carrots, as much B6 as seven cups of lima beans, as much B12 as nine cups of milk and as much zinc as 10 cups of asparagus.
The supplement features eight greens:
- Spinach
- Wheatgrass
- Kale
- Blue green algae
- Spirulina
- Chlorella
- Barley grass
- Aloe vera
It also includes ascorbic acid, niacin, vitamins B3, B5 and B12, zinc, sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate. To create the supplement, the greens go through a simple process of dehydration with no enzymatic or chemical breakdown of ingredients.
How to use: Drop one tablet in eight ounces of water, dissolve and drink. Take a maximum of three tablets per day for adults and two tablets per day for those under age 18. If you’re pregnant or nursing, consult your health practitioner prior to taking.
Other than catching some waves on the beach, almost nothing screams summertime more than a good ole barbecue.
The great weather is the best time to invite friends over, turn up some good music, and feast on delicious food like salmon, asparagus or some homemade Smores ice cream! If you have a swimming pool, that makes the party even better.
But if you have ever thrown a BBQ you know that they can be a lot more work for the hostess, than just relaxing and enjoying the company. It’s fairly easy to get food stuck on the grill, to make the hamburgers too dry, and even make a big mess with all the condiments and bags of chips.
Mini tragedies like the ones mentioned are never fun. That’s why we’ve put together a list of 14 incredible barbecue hacks that will prevent any of these things from happening and make your life so much easier.
As explained by Karen Way on the blog Sew Many Ways, this is an easy way to start a fire. It’s perfect for roasting hot dogs or marshmallows. Just make sure it’s not a styrofoam egg carton!
Onions are a natural disinfectant. So, if you don’t have a special brush to clean your grill, cut an onion in half and rub it on the surface of the plates.
These keep foods extra secure, which is especially handy when you’re making kebabs.
Placing lemons under a piece of fish on a grill will prevent it from sticking. It’s also delicious!
There’s nothing like the taste of brick oven pizza. Jeff Parker, the culinary director of Bull Outdoor Products, explains that you can make pizza on your grill by preheating a pizza stone for 30 minutes with indirect high heat. The stone must be very hot!
This little trick is very easy to do and it makes the hot dogs nice and crispy. It also allows the condiments to seep right in. Watch how to do it here.
This will add a little bit more flavor to your food. Here’s a list of the best herbs to use.
Muffin tins are great for baking — but they can also be used to store your ketchup, mustard, and other delicious condiments for your barbecue.
Add a little cube to your burger before putting it on the grill. This will make it extra juicy. If you don’t have ice, add 2–3 Tbsp. of ice-cold water into the mixture.
Instead of having people ask for the bottle opener, just tie it to the handle.
Who said these are just for meat? This is the perfect way to grill your vegetables!
Place cloves in a cut lemon to keep those pests away!
We hope these tips help make your BBQ a little better! Do you have any BBQ hacks/tips you would add?? Please SHARE with all the barbecue lovers you know!

Detox Water ROCKS!!!!
Welcome Back!!
Any of you feeling like you want to lose a couple of pounds?
Feeling a little puffy and need a detox?
Are you HATING the muffin top hanging off your pants??? I know I am!!!!
I have found something that I really love to help banish the bloat!! The beauty is you can still maintain your current diet, and all you are going to do is drink 60 ounces of this amazing water a day and watch the 3-5 lbs melt away.
This is the Jillian Michael’s Detox Water and it’s amazing! It tastes really mild and refreshing, I have really come to love the flavor.
How long do you drink the detox water?
1 week, and you could do it about once a quarter to help get rid of that dang water weight. Whole Foods is where you need to go to get the items needed for the Detox.
Items you will need are:
Organic Dandelion Root Tea, Cold Pressed Cranberry & Lemon Juice.
I’ve always loved lemon water but the magic is in the combination of the Dandelion Root Tea, Lemon and Cranberry together to help banish the bloat! You still drink your normal amount of water a day so this isn’t the only source of water you are getting.
For best results you should not drink alcohol while doing this detox water. I have still drank coffee while doing it and have had great results, but you would probably be even better off saying no to the coffee as well.
I hope you all love this as much as I do and let us know if you try it out and what your favorite thing is about it.
