I got a SEVERAL messages from my past clients who were asking about my annual post-Halloween detox-so here you have it friends!!!
If you’re already anticipating getting caught in the sugar addiction/downward spiral that comes post Halloween —I invite YOU to come join our team’s 3 Day Refresh Kickoff group next week (you choose your 3 days, November 5-9)
The group is for my girls who want to lose 3-8 lbs by following a 3 day plant based gentle detox (And no no, it’s not one of THOSE detox things 💩)
-Yes you can do this while at work.
-No you won’t spend all day in the bathroom.
-Yes you actually EAT FOODS
-No you won’t be starving OR drinking only liquids
-Yes you can expect to kick the boost, drop a few lbs, and of course feel FRESH come day 3!
If you are interested in the deets, fill out the application below!
I will provide you with a sample meal plan for the detox, provide you with a source of accountability so you won’t be in this alone, and help you make sure you don’t just lose weight and gain it right back but follow a lifestyle that’s going to allow you to MAINTAIN your results!!!
I have been getting a lot of questions about this little plant based detox I toss into my routine a few times a year and I decided to tackle all the Q&A right here – for you – so you can decide if THIS could be something for YOU!
What is the refresh?
The 3- Day Refresh is a 3 day plant based cleanse that consists of 3 daily shakes, a fiber drink, plenty of filtered water, plus a wide variety of fresh fruits, veggies, and healthy fats though out the day to keep fueling your body and increasing your metabolism.
WHO is the refresh for?
The refresh is for anyone who:
Wants to bust a plateau
Kick a sugar cycle
Drop a few pounds for a wedding
Kick the bloat
Ditch the bad habits forming
Kickstart their weightloss journey
Detox the toxins in their body
Just give themselves a FRESH start
I personally find myself doing them post vacay to make sure the lose vacay habits, stay on vacation, to kick the bloat if I’ve been enjoying too many of the glutenous goodies that my digestive system don’t like, or just when its been a while and I want to REFOCUS on my nutrition habits.
What does the refresh entail?
1. Wake up- Drink 8-12 oz filtered water
2. Breakfast (within an hour of waking up)- Shakeology + fruit (from the list provided)
*Option for Green Tea – I prefer Iced Green tea and buy it in bulk online
3. Mid-morning- FIBER SWEEP (digestive health drink)
4. Lunch- Vanilla FRESH (high protein, hunger-satisfying shake) + options from the fruit, veggie, and healthy fat list
5. Afternoon snack- From the fruit, veggie, or juice option list
*Option for Green Tea
6. Dinner- Vanilla FRESH + a meal from dinner recipe list
*Option for Green Tea
Can I exercise on the 3 day refresh?
You can do light to moderate exercise, but I would avoid the heavy, intense workouts.
This is because the 3 -Day Refresh will use your energy more effectively to help cleanse your system if you are not, at the same time, taxing it with the effort of repairing muscle after an intense workout.
What to expect while on the Refresh:
This is NOT a starvation diet or an all-liquid diet, although it is low in calories (approx. 900-1000 a day). You should not feel starved since it is packed with fiber and protein and you are nourishing your body properly.
Water:
It is recommended that you drink tons of water, especially if you want the fiber to do its job right! How you know you get the right amount of water is by taking your weight / 2 and that number is how many ounces of water you should intake every day.
Example: If you weigh 150lbs…. 150/2= 75…. 75 ounces is what you would need every day (not including your water for your shakes) if you weighed 150 pounds.
Personally I aim for my body weight in ounces. The more water I drink the less likely I am to eat out of boredom opposed to truly being hungry!
Let’s do this TOGETHER!
PURCHASE OPTIONS:
You can purchase this cleanse in its ENTIRETY in a 3 day kit
OR
You can bundle it with my favorite superfood shake for a month – so you’re not just rocking the 3 days but CONTINUING to focus on your nutriton and maintain the results in the weeks (and hopefully beyond!) that follow!
Or maybe the 7-10 pounds you tacked on between Thanksgiving & Christmas?!
Or…. perhaps the classic “this is my year” attitude??
I’m sure there’s a million and one things that play into the reasons but the results have proven in a recent study that the TOP 3 new years resolution in America are to:
*EXERCISE MORE*
*LOSE WEIGHT*
*Improve DIET*
Forget saving for the future or spending more time with family – most people kick off a new year with a goal to somehow some way improve their overall well being!
Yet, LESS than 10% of those people are actually successful in achieving their resolutions!
Why?
They don’t have the tools!
They’re afraid of change – they fear failure – they don’t know HOW to get started AND continue!
But here’s the deal…if you make a few temporary changes the results will simply be that – temporary. You won’t truly acheive what you’re setting out to do unless you make a CHANGE!
A change in the way you think – act- believe and yes – a change in your LIFESTYLE!
So – what’s the deal?
For starters – its much easier said than done!
Making a lifestyle change – a HEALTHY lifestyle change isn’t always easy.
Some people will doubt you, some may not support you, some may even say negative things and you may fear your ability to stick to it long term or when not at home. You’re afraid you don’t have the time or the money – But these are all just excuses – if you have a plan – you can overcome every single one of them – and then some!
AND I CAN HELP YOU!
Committing to a healthy eating and a consistent exercise routine may be HARD. But so is living in a body that you’re unhappy with.
CHOOSE YOUR HARD.
Then take action.
I’ve started and stopped my fair share of “changes” but nearly 2 years ago I made one change that forever changed my life.
I joined a challenge group.
An online accountability group filled with other women who had similar struggles as I did – similar fears – and similar goals – TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE!
I picked up a 21 day fix challenge group, followed the advice of my COACH, and joined a group!
I pushed play – in my home – for 30 minutes a day. I checking to the group for accountability, I took the advice shared, I utilized the meal plans and recipes that were suggested and low and behold – I GOT RESULTS!
So I ask you all to take this as a personal INVITATION to make this your year.
Your time to shine and your time to FOLLOW THROUGH with your commitment – your commitment to BE HEALTHIER! TO BE THE BEST YOU!
I’m kicking off my RESOLUTIONS INTO RESULTS challenge group January 4th and I am looking for 10 people to join me!
Join us and we’ll do this TOGETHER!
(Please fill out the application below to be considered for one of the 10 spots. Must not already be working with another coach!)
Today marks 10 days out from Easter…the holiday of chocolate bunnies, sugary peeps, candy filled eggs, and temptations EVERYWHERE! I mean seriously – take a peak in the front door of Target…there is literally candy EVERYWHERE! And while its easy to think (and correct) that “one piece is A-Okay” that one piece tends to multiply and before you know it, you’re helping your kids look for their M&Ms that seem to have “disappeared”all of a sudden…trust me…I’ve been there!!!
But as Easter coincides with Spring we also know that Summer will then follow. As we sit 2 months out from Memorial Day I’ll admit I have SUMMER on my mind!!! I know I want to feel and look my best this summer and I hope you do to! So…how do we combat this holiday craziness?
Enter:
Post-Easter Fix & reFRESH:
It is still hard for me to explain how drastically different I FEEL when I am eating clean, fueling my body with Shakeology – EVERY DAY – and exercising regularly! Naturally the results follow but its so much more than that. I am happier and healthier. I am a better mom and I am a better wife. I am more patient and all around HAPPIER…and I want everyone to have the opportunity to live a healthier and more fulfilling life too!
This group will provide you with daily clean eating tips, motivation, recipes so you do not get bored, and SHAKEOLOGY, a meal you can use EVERY day that is easy and convenient like those the stuff you find at those tempting Golden Arches or the overpriced lattes, but truly the HEALTHIEST MEAL OF THE DAY!
So…WHY Shakeology?
It can help you:
Lose weight – especially if you replace a meal with Shakeology every day.
Reduce junk food cravings – drink it in the morning to enjoy this benefit throughout the day
Increase your energy and feel healthier.
Improve your digestion and regularity.
Hmmm…How????
Fiber and probiotics help you “get regular” so you eliminate toxins built up in your digestive system.
Proprietary blend of prebiotics and probiotics help create a healthy intestinal tract which aids digestion.
A healthier digestive system makes it easier to absorb key nutrients.
Digestive enzymes also help your body to increase the absorption of nutrients.
Long story short – Shakeology is NOT a weight loss shake, nor a protein shake… This is a HEALTH shake that is including your dense nutrition, health benefits, and includes your daily multi-vitamin!
Trust me…you can’t get this in anything else – plus it tastes like a dessert!!
Support…the “group” – what is it?
My Easter FIX clean eating and Shakeology challenge is just that! You will get 30 Days of support, motivation, tips, recipes, and be surrounded by a group of people who have the same or similar goes as you! I can’t promise that it will be easy but I can promise that if you stick with it, commit and keep pushing, you will get the results you’re looking for!
For an extra little boost, I am also giving a FREE 3 DAY REFRESHwhen you sign up with ME as YOUR coach and order your Shakeology in Home Direct (HD).
This simple easy to follow 3-day cleanse will help remove the toxins, bloating, and chemicals from your body and replace with it amino acids, enzymes, and more so you are starting FRESH!

I first tried this recipe when I did the 3-day Refresh and loved it so much I had to make it again!
Kale with Pine Nuts (from 3-day refresh meal plan guide)
(makes 1 serving)
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups chopped green kale
1 tsp. pine nuts
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 dash himalayan salt (optional)
1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add kale; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until kale is tender and bright green. Remove from heat. Drain. Place in medium bowl.
2. Toss kale with pine nuts, lemon juice and salt.
This was served as a side with our dinner: Grilled chicken with peppers and onions, quinoa salad, steamed broccoli.
For all you 21-day fixers out there, you could sub out the pine nuts for sesame seeds and this would be: 1 red (chicken) 2 greens (kale, broccoli, peppers and onions), 1 yellow and 1 blue (quinoa with jack cheese) and 1 orange (sunflower seeds)

If the word “Cleanse” scares you and makes you want to run away, grab my hand because I’m right there wtih you – well until now.
I’ll be honest, I have never tried a cleanse although I’ve considered it here and there. But when I heard about this at our annual Coach Summit last week in Vegas and had an opportunity to talk to one of the creator’s of this amazing product (Isabelle Daikeler) I knew that it was something I had to try! Her passion was an inspiration itself as she shared the research and testing that went into creating this amazing product. The testimonials from the test group proved this to be a cleanse like none other. People were feeling amazing and seeing great results.
3 Day refresh – talking with the Dieklers
So now it is time to face my fears and give it a try and I would love for you to join me!

What is the Vanilla FRESH shake? A high protein vanilla shake not only helps satisfy your hunger though out the day, but delivers essential nutrition your body needs for healthy weight loss. This is also a perfect source of fiber, and it is DAIRY FREE and SOY FREE!
Nutrition Facts for Vanilla FRESH: Plant protein – 20 gm 22 essential vitamins and minerals Probiotics to promote digestive and immune health Clinically tested potato protein extract to help curb hunger No artificial flavors, color, preservatives, or sweeteners
What is the FIBER SWEEP DRINK? A blend of soluble and insoluble fibers that gently and naturally eliminates waste from your digestive system, while supporting healthy intestinal flora.
– It is created from whole-ground flax, chia, and psyllium seed husks, FIBER SWEEP is an excellent source of fiber for digestive health
-Wholesome psyllium fiber can help naturally lower cholesterol and support healthy good sugar levels as a part of a healthy diet
-Since this plan is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, psyllium fiber husk may help reduce the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD).
– Flax and Chia are sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids
When should you start the 3-Day Refresh? Many people start the Refresh on Friday morning so they can stay focused and disciplined through the weekend- while others may prefer to follow this during the week to avoid temptation of weekend activities. This is totally YOUR CALL of how and when you want to start this. Bottom line- you want results and to make this a healthy lifestyle, it should be a good time when you decide they day YOU WANT TO COMMIT!
What to expect while on the Refresh: This is NOT a starvation diet or an all-liquid diet, although it is low in calories (approx. 900 a day). You should not feel starved since it is packed with fiber and protein and you are nourishing your body properly.
About the FIBER: If you are not use to having lots of fiber in your regimen, I recommend you eat a large salad daily and a few servings of fresh veggies for the week up until your Refresh. If you are not use to all the fiber and overload your body with fiber, you may feel uncomfortable gassy and bloating. This is also a sign of your body cleaning itself up, which is what it is meant to do. After you do this Refresh, you will want to increase your fiber levels in general (which is part of a healthy nutrition regimen). Fiber promotes satiety, helps balance blood sugar, and thus energy levels, promotes cardiovascular health, and keeps your digestive tract more regular. It of course also helps you stay healthy and helps you lose weight!
Water: It is recommended that you drink tons of water, especially if you want the fiber to do its job right! How you know you get the right amount of water is by taking your weight / 2 and that number is how many ounces of water you should intake every day. Example: If you weigh 150lbs…. 150/2= 75…. 75 ounces is what you would need every day (not including your water for your shakes) if you weighed 150 pounds. Personally I aim for my body weight in ounces. The more water I drink the less likely I am to eat out of boredom opposed to truly being hungry!
Exercise: During the 3-Day Refresh, it is recommended that you incorporate MILD to MODERATE exercise. This is because the 3 -Day Refresh will use your energy more effectively to help cleanse your system if you are not, at the same time, taxing it with the effort of repairing muscle after an intense workout.
So now you have it! A simple plan, for fast results! I am so excited this plan is out because this is perfect for so many people out there looking for results the natural way without putting chemicals and toxins in their body!
I’m getting started Monday June 30th – let’s do this together!
