I am not going to hide the fact that I love food. Eating out is a huge part of my lifestyle and lately after trying to get into my favourite dress I realised that I hadn’t been looking after myself properly. It’s so important that we take care of our bodies and ensure we consume the right nutrients daily.

For the past few months I have decided to substitute at least one if not two meals a day with @herbalife shakes. I even took my shakes on holiday with me. They are designed to support a healthy active lifestyle.
I’ve just discovered the new banana cream flavour and couldn’t help but share this delicious recipe with you!

Recipe

1 large handful of kale,
1 small handful of strawberries,
2 scoops of Herbalife Nutrition Formula 1 Banana Cream
250ml semi-skimmed milk (can use your preferred choice of milk)
I always also top it up with a large handful of ice cubes

‘Breakfast’ literally means to ‘break the fast’ that occurs overnight. After approximately 12 hours without fuel, it’s easy to see why breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. As the first source of energy that your body receives, your breakfast should provide the essential nutrients and fluids needed to kickstart the day. Skipping this most important of meals means your body doesn’t have what it needs to perform basic functions, causing blood sugar levels to drop and you to feel hungry sooner, which means you’re more likely to reach for unhealthy foods later on. But it’s not just about whether you eat breakfast or not. What you eat, and how much, is equally as important. A simple carbohydrate-based breakfast such as toast or pastries does not provide the amount of protein you need in each meal, and may actually make you feel more hungry throughout the day. This is a common culprit for unhealthy food choices. The statistics and research findings below help to put this into perspective:

A protein-rich breakfast has been shown to reduce cravings during the day and help in controlling your appetite 1.

Research shows that skipping breakfast is closely linked with weight gain and overeating later in the day 2.

Eating breakfast was found by scientific researchers to help reduce total daily calorie intake 3.

Results from a clinical study suggested that not eating breakfast is associated with a higher Body Mass Index (BMI)4 and poorer eating behaviours 5.

61% Europeans miss breakfast more than once a week, according to a recent survey. Of those people, 47% blame a lack of time as their excuse 6.

Looking for a breakfast that ticks the boxes for both health and taste? Try this recipe for the perfect breakfast bowl:

2 Scoops Formula 1 Strawberry

250 ml Almond Milk

1/2 Banana

1 Cup Strawberries

1 tbsp Oats

Desiccated Coconut (Optional Topic)

Blend the Formula 1 powder and milk, and then serve in your favourite bowl – topping it with strawberries, banana and oats!

There are many reasons people decide to try Veganism. But whatever your motives are for choosing a plant based diet, there’s no doubt that Veganuary has become a popular New
Year’s resolution.

Because a vegan diet excludes all animal foods and animal products, one of the main challenges is getting enough protein. Animal proteins are “complete” proteins because they contain all nine essential amino acids. But – with the exception of soybeans – most plant foods lack one or more essential amino acids, so they’re considered incomplete.

Other nutrients may also be lacking. For example, dairy products contain calcium and vitamin D so it’s important to plan for these. And since animal proteins are good sources
of iron, zinc and vitamin B12, careful food choices coupled with the right nutritional supplements can help to ensure these nutrient needs are met.

So getting enough nourishment during Veganuary will take some careful planning but consuming a wide variety of foods will help to ensure your body still gets all the essential
building blocks it needs. One of the great benefits of plant protein powders (from soy, pea, rice, quinoa and hemp) is that they offer a lot of protein for relatively few calories. If it’s
difficult to meet your protein needs from meals alone then using a Formula 1 shake is a good way to boost your overall daily protein intake.

These are the Herbalife Nutrition products that could help you during Veganuary and beyond if you wish to continue with a plant based diet.

CORE NUTRITION
New generation Formula 1 (in Banana Cream, Café Latte or Spiced Apple flavours) along with Instant Tea, Oat Apple Fibre and Herbal Aloe Concentrate Drink are a wonderful way to start your morning. They will provide you with a nutrient rich, calorie controlled meal which is high in fibre, vitamins and minerals.

NEW GENERATION FORMULA 1
Delicious, nutritious and quick to whip up, Formula 1 fuels your body with the right kind of nutrition. The new generation flavours (Banana Cream, Spiced Apple and Café Latte) contain vegan ingredients and are gluten free. A Formula 1 shake works because it’s high in protein and every calorie comes loaded with healthy nutrition and the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs including vitamin D and B12. Each one can be customised according to your own personal taste. Try some of the recipes listed on the Herbalife  Nutrition Share a Shake platform here.

OAT APPLE FIBRE
Most protein shake mixes don’t contain a lot of fibre, and most people don’t eat as much of it as they should. Adding Oat Apple Fibre is an easy way to increase your daily fibre intake. Or try adding fruits and vegetables, rolled oats, bran or seeds such as sunflower, flax or chia seeds to your shake, all of which contribute to your fibre intake.

INSTANT HERBAL TEA
Do you start your day with a high calorie coffee? Instant Herbal Tea with its 85 mg of caffeine can help your concentration and is drunk either hot or cold but at only 6 kcal can be enjoyed guilt free throughout the day.

HERBAL ALOE CONCENTRATE
If you’re feeling less than your best, your fluid intake may be the reason why. Herbal Aloe Concentrate lets you quench your thirst by livening up water. Made from Aloe leaf, this refreshing drink gives water a citrusy twist so you may find it easier to get the fluid intake your body needs to stay healthy and hydrated.

We hope these Herbalife Nutrition products help you with Veganuary and beyond. Good Luck! To order your products and have them at your door in three days visit: read up on what you need place an order today: http://www.richardhowlett.goherbalife.com

Here are a few practical, yet effective new year’s resolutions that will help you improve not only your physical appearance, but also your confidence and overall well-being: the full range of HERBALIFE SKIN CARE RANGE (nutrition for your skin) can be seen and ordered from http://www.richardhowlett.goherbalife.com

I will be sure to always get a good night’s sleep! 
A good night’s sleep has tremendous benefits for both the mind and the body. If we are sleep deprived then we may be suffering from irritability, slowed speech, a flattened emotional response, and the inability to multitask. There are also studies to suggest that lack of sleep can influence our weight, memory and immune system. But remember, when it comes to our appearance, we do call it “Beauty Sleep” for a reason. When we don’t get enough sleep, we tend to have an increased level of stress hormones in our bodies. When high levels of stress hormones are present, it can lead to inflammation. When we are talking about our skin, this means we could be speeding up the appearance of aging. Lack of sleep can also cause some existing skin conditions, like acne, to worsen. When we’re tired, our skin looks tired. It can look dehydrated, lose its youthful glow and look dull. Remember, sleep relaxes our facial muscles and this is a good thing because it can help smooth out the fine lines and wrinkles we may have. A good night’s sleep allows us to wake up feeling and looking refreshed. So for the sake of overall health and appearance, make a resolution to always get a good night’s sleep.

I will apply moisturiser to my face and body every single day! 
This is such an easy resolution to make and the benefits will be tremendous. When you get out of the shower or bath, take an extra minute to apply moisturiser from head to toe. Do this while your skin is still damp to help seal in your skin’s natural moisture. Moisturisers and body creams are really great for the skin. Your skin will feel more comfortable and it will look better overall. Dry, flaky or ashy-looking skin does not necessarily look youthful or healthy. There are so many factors that can dry out our skin. Long hot showers, using soaps that are too harsh and even weather can negatively impact our skin. By taking just a minute each day to replenish the skin with much needed moisture can vastly improve how it looks and feels. And remember, when going outside, a moisturiser containing SPF 30 with both UVA and UVB protection is essential to guarding your skin from the damaging rays of the sun. So slather that moisturiser on your feet, your legs, arms, elbows and especially your face for a New Year’s resolution you will love!

Break bad habits in the name of beauty! 
So many people look at the beginning of a New Year as the perfect time to kick their bad habits. Smoking, drinking, too much alcohol, lack of exercise and eating too much junk food all seem to be habits that many people want to kick. These habits can negatively impact our appearance, especially our skin. So if you can kick them for the sake of both your overall health and appearance, maybe you will be more likely to keep these resolutions all year long. Why should we kick these specific habits? Smoking depletes the oxygen from our cells, which ultimately can lead to the signs of premature aging. Too much alcohol can dehydrate your skin and deplete it from vital nutrients. A regular exercise regimen not only results in a toned body, but also leads to toned skin. And, our diet is another key factor. As the saying goes, “We are what we eat.” So it’s important to throw away the junk food and eat fruits and vegetables instead. Look at your bad habits, their effects on the entire body and you will be more likely to break them.

I love the New Year. It’s the perfect time to start fresh. Take a quick inventory on your skin care, hair care and cosmetic products and toss what you haven’t used in a while. Double-check the expiration dates and throw away all expired products. Go through your gym bags and purses and toss out those old lipsticks and lotions that have been in there for a year. And take the time to replenish your favourite products so you can start the New Year on a good note. This is the year to work on improving our overall health both inside and out! Happy New Year to everyone and remember, the healthier we are the more beautiful we are!

In an ideal world, we would get all our vitamins and minerals from the food we consume on a daily basis.

However, many of us lead very busy and pressured lives. Some of us may not have sufficient time to put together a detailed and well
thought out dietary plan that addresses all our needs.

That is why vitamin and mineral supplements have an important role to play as they are designed to complement and support our daily diet, to help ensure that our intake levels of essential micronutrients are maintained at an optimum level.

A healthy, balanced diet is important in order to obtain all of the nutrients which are key to our health. However, few of us find it easy to live up to this ideal.

The use of vitamin and mineral supplements can reduce dietary gaps and improve nutritional status without exceeding safe levels of intake. There are many potential reasons to complement your diet with a vitamin & mineral supplement, depending on factors such as age, gender, dietary habits, and lifestyle.

Herbalife Nutrition can help complement your diet with vitamin & mineral supplements which meets your individual needs. http://www.richardhowlett.goherbalife.com
