Let’s face it…whoever lined up Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years so close together on the calendar should always stay on the NAUGHTY list! No wonder people make New Years Resolutions….enough is enough! The problem with resolutions is that the majority of the population doesn’t stick to them! There are so many reasons why we don’t stick to them, time seems like it’s always the culprit. I’d agree with that, but I’d also say we approach the resolution full throttle in January and come February we’re smoked from being over achievers. Can I make a suggestion? Keep it simple…doable…start slow so you can stick to it. Once you get the hang of it, add another goal to work toward. I’m hoping the gears are turning for you as you read this, and I’m going out on a limb here…but I’d guess that most of you are thinking toward health/fitness?
We’ve all fallen off the wagon of health and fitness…But here is the good news, it doesn’t have to be hard. What you eat makes a huge impact in how you feel. Eating healthy can help you lose weight without exercise (although I don’t promote that). You have to start somewhere, pay attention to what you’re putting in your mouth. You want an easy start…consider this:
You can lose 10 pounds in a year by simply cutting 100 calories a day from your diet.
And I have just the solution….Instead of having a big, heavy dessert after dinner…Why not have a glass of Juice Plus+ Complete?
- It tastes good – really! No gritty consistency, just smooth goodness!
- It mixes well with any liquid, even water…giving you a 110 calorie snack that helps you feel full because it has loads of fiber!
- You can even take it as a meal replacement – ask my Mom and Aunt who’ve lost weight in a matter of months…Both ladies look absolutely AMAZING!
Ok, so you’re NOT trying to lose weight, don’t go anywhere because it’s good for you too!
- Going to the gym and need a boost in energy? Take it as a pre-workout energy drink.
- Take it after the gym as a post-workout recovery drink. There are 13g of protein (from plants) that replenish what you’ve broken down.
- If you want to put on more “healthy” weight. Throw the mixture in a blender with a fatty fruit – bananas and avocados really thicken the shake up. Scoop in some peanut butter or nuts and you’ve got a powerful meal!
Kids LOVE this stuff! The Grommom’s 1 year old literally sucked an entire glass down with a straw without taking a break…He took in some major nutrition without realizing he was actually eating some really nutritious stuff:
Golden Chlorella, Chickpea Powder, Pea Protein, Tofu Powder, Rice Protein, Apple Fiber, Corn Fiber, Soy Fiber, pumpkin powder, Pomegranate powder, Spirulina, Sprouts, Broccoli, Alfalfa, Radish, Amaranth, Quinoa, and Millet.
So for my very FIRST GIVEAWAY, I’m going to give one lucky winner a package of Juice Plus+ Complete – A nutritious, all-natural powdered drink mix that provides balanced nutrition in every scoop…not to mention the fact that it puts those other “sports drinks” on the market to shame!
So here is the deal for the GIVEAWAY….I need YOUR help. My New Year’s goal is to work on being more healthy and posting more on my blog. What helps to reach this is by having subscribers and discussions generated to help one another. More entries, more subscribers…that’s my goal!
I’m going to giveaway a package of Juice Plus+ Complete and a blender bottle to one lucky winner. In one week, Patton will draw a name out of a hat. To get your name in that hat you can do the following:

Here is the kicker, the drawing will be held FRIDAY DEC. 23RD but it won’t be held if I don’t get atleast 50 comments! So spread the word…please :)
The winner gets to decide between French Vanilla or Dutch Chocolate:
With that shipment of Complete, they’ll also get a handy Blender Bottle. I take my bottle wherever I go as well as a snack bag of the complete powder so I’m not stuck eating fast food. Remember, it mixes well with water so drinking fountains help me mix up my Juice Plus+ complete in seconds!

Sarah got all 4 wisdom teeth out this morning- welcome home! I’m so thankful for the Complete. I know its the best thing for her to be eating right now.
I like you idea about always keeping it in the car. I keep Chewables in the car and have packed Complete for lacrosse tournaments or trips, but think I will add it to my regular stash. Great idea Christie!
Poor Sarah!!!! Good thing she got them all done at once though! And, YES! Complete is the best thing for her…especially since most people only eat jello/mashed potatoes! Complete WINS by far! Merry Christmas Kim! Glad you’ve got your kiddos home with you and Gordon!
What a great idea Christie! Thanks for the chart with Juice Plus VS. the Top 3 Store brands. It’s very helpful. I’m going to order the Complete very soon. Off to the gym!…=)
Christin
You’re going to LOVE it! Isn’t the chart amazing! Yeah, I’ve compared Patton’s protein drinks that he used to take. He never finished any of the protein drinks because they taste so bad. With Juice Plus+ Complete, we’ve lost count on how many shipments we’ve gone through…Proof that it’s effective, but also that it tastes good! Have fun at the gym!
Thanks Christie, for the Winter soup receipe…love it. I look forward to your mail and would love to try the “Juice+Complete”. Alan and I are trying to juice it more and change our diet. I have noticed an improvement with my heartburn when I eat smart. Thanks for the encouragement friend. Our acai bowls are selling big (when it’s not raining over here)! Aloha from “Shack Attack Shave Ice” (aka SASI)
Mele Kalikimaka Jackie + Alan! I’m thrilled your selling the acai bowls….BEST Acai Bowl I’ve ever had!!!! Glad you’re noticing a change with juicing! It’s the best way to get lots of fruits and veggies into your daily diet. But make sure you’re including some flax seed or something with fiber as when you juice the fiber is lost. I’m going to send you an audio copy of “The China Study” as promised. Do me a favor and email me the correct address you’d like it to be shipped to… I know you gave it to me before, but I can’t seem to find it. You’re going to LOVE Complete! You can order it directly from http://www.christienixjuiceplus.com or call me and we can place the order over the phone. It ships in a variety pack (2 vanilla and 2 chocolate) or all vanilla or all chocolate….I’d recommend the variety pack :)
ALOHA!
I love these drinks and Christie’s passion. Very delicious.
AWh! Thanks John! Hope you and your beautiful wife have a great Holiday! Would be great to see you guys sometime soon!
Christie! Love the post about juice plus complete! It is seriously delicious! So glad you and monica introduced me to it:)
ALEX! Great hearing from you! Are you back in NC now? Hope you have a great holiday with your family! Thanks for the kudos on the Complete! Surprising how good it tastes isn’t it :)
Loving being home I want to try making your winter soup! It is so much colder here then Hawaii. I hope your holiday is great to.
The Soup will warm you up! It makes a ton though…we’ve been having it every night for dinner….Patton thought he was tired of it, but then after eating it last night was happy he had it :) I’ll be posting another soup recipe as soon as this stuff is all gone :) Keep in touch girlfriend! I’m bummed you won’t be coming to Lanai with me in Feb :( Super excited about your next chapter in life though!
I am rooting for you to get your 50! Maybe one day we can have you as a guest blogger on Emerging Eden :) I think taking Juice Plus would be way better than prenatal vits…yuck they always make sick so i’m sticking to natural sources i can throw in smoothies :) I’d love to give JP a try in 2012 :)
Chelsa!!!! Great hearing from you friend! I’d LOVE to guest blog on Emerging Eden!!! Tell me, is there a way for me to subscribe to your blog? I added your link to the sidebar under “inspiration”. The blog is BEAUTIFUL! Dr. Mitra Ray has never taken prenatals during her pregnancies. She’s a biochemist and she’s been with Juice Plus+ for 18+ years. One of the perks of taking JP+ through pregnancy is obviously the nutrients it provides, but also during the times when you really don’t crave things that are good for you…a few tasty gummies do the trick…or capsules if you prefer. There is also a decent amount of floic acid.
Let’s skype sometime….I’d LOVE to see you, the hubby, and little Aubrey!
Oh and thanks for the shout out via Emerging Eden!

Thank You Thank You Thank You!
Another Complete lover here!! Chelsa, I know Christie has a really great research study on the benefits of JP+ in pregnant women. I’m sure she would be happy to share it with you.
Yay! Christie. I think this would be a great solution to my bike riding son who’s 23 and is a vegan. Having a blender bolltle and some water, he won’t be stuck without something to eat. GREAT idea:)
Hey Book Club Buddy!!!! I like to refer to your son as a “Hegan” – a guy thats a vegan :) YAY! Yes, that would be great for him! You should have him check out http://www.livelifetotheplus.com. There are tons of athletes who are taking Juice Plus+….Not to mention the German Olympic Team!
YAAAAAY! No sick days!!!! LOVE it! You’re going to love “Complete”, especially since you’ve been busting it at the gym…looking good might I add! Smoking hot Ms. Crystal!

I do like this shake and the recipes :). Love that it now comes in pouches, looks much easier to pour out.
It is much easier! And mixes a lot better…they re-vamped the recipe a bit…increased the fiber and protein and made it tastier and easier to mix with water :)
Christie–Once again, SO WELL done—you know I’m already a fan, and I don’t need to be in your drawing, but by all means, count me toward your 50~ :)
I’ll spread the word on this one, and send many more your way.
Anyone who reads this MUST give Complete a try–you’ll love it for sure!

Aloha!
I heart you Monica Swanson! You’re the best!
Hello – I am a new subscriber as of NOW! I found your blog via grommom. I have been looking into JuicePlus for months now, but just haven’t gotten on board so winning this would be a great opportunity to try it. I have three little sons so I know it would be beneficial to our family. Perhaps it will be a new years resolution to eat healthier since we are already an active family! Great post. What are your thoughts about all the new Body Vi hype that is floating around when comparing it to Juice Plus? Thanks for your insight!!
Hi Shelly! Thanks for the subscription and the post! Great question about Body Vi…I just heard of this a few days ago from a friend whose friend is a distributor for the product. It sounds like their product is similar to Complete..especially the part about a “shake that takes like a cake mix” :) I noticed that their product mixes well with water too so it also is great on the go. Their website has some nice testimonials from people who’ve lost weight however what I’m really looking for are the ingredients they use. Specifically, whether there is a nutrition label or a supplement label. I looked all over the website and didn’t find anything, so I called the company. After 20 minutes of waiting to speak with someone to answer some of my questions, the rep gave me an email address to send my questions to. That was kind of disappointing since he wouldn’t list the ingredients off to me. That was a few hours ago…Maybe I’ll get an emailed response tomorrow.
Because I’ve been a long time customer…turned recent distributor with Juice Plus+, I’ve learned that Juice Plus+ is the most highly and thoroughly researched whole food supplement on the market…and the research is gold standard research that you can’t buy your way into…so my guess is that while Body Vi is an effective product, I’m guessing they don’t have the doctors backing it up. I say that because I didn’t see any clinical research sites on the body vi website and after watching their video I noticed it featured only people who noticed a difference…while the weight loss was obvious, there were no doctors featured to talk about the nutrition. With Juice Plus+, the videos always focus on the science as well as the personal stories which I think speaks volumes.
Stay tuned because I’ll be posting a topic completely on the “Children’s Health Study” where kids and full time college students can get up to 3 years of Juice Plus+ for free :)
Many thanks for your question! And I’ve got your name entered in the drawing 3 times already…feel free to send people to my blog and be sure when they leave a comment to tell me that you sent them for additional entries in your name :)
[…] drink…You’re name won’t be entered in unless you post a comment on the GIVEAWAY post…some of you new subscribers…..that goes for you :) While I LOVE LOVE LOVE that […]

3 weeks into using Juice+ and feeling pretty good… looking forward to seeing how I’ll feel in 3 months!!
Hi Lara! The longer you take it, the more you’ll notice :) Thanks for giving Juice Plus+ a whirl! See you in “The Sweet Spot” soon!
I love Juice Plus and JP+Complete! In August this year, I started having a Complete smoothie for lunch every weekday. As a result I have lost 10 pounds, without any effort and not feeling deprived. Between the Juice Plus chewables and Complete I no longer crave sweets or fatty foods or other junk food. I eat better, feel better and look better thanks to Juice Plus.
And lets add to the fact that you look AMAZING! For you not to be craving sweets…that speaks volumes :) 10 pounds of weight loss for changing a simple thing….not bad!

So…I just told Greg that the coconut cranberry pecan balls sounded delicious!!! His response was, “that sounds…different!” Then he proceeded to read to me recipes out of the America’s Test Kitchen’s book!!
HA! I can totally see the play by play! We MISS you all!!!!
Christie –
So glad I found your blog girl! Eating better is definitely my priority for the new year, thanks so much for the inspiration and jump-starting the plan! Keep the recipes coming!!
Hey Lauren! Thanks so much for the comment and subscription…You’ve got me motivated to keep posting :)
I try to have a green smoothie after I work out/run in the morning and this looks like a great, fast alternative! I will definitely be looking into it. Thanks!
Hi Kim! Yes, it’s really good for athletes….the protein, fiber, and nutrition content is top notch…but green drinks are fabulous too! Are you adding a protein supplement to your green drinks like hempseed?
Thanks Christie for the great insight about this product, excited to try it out and be healthy for 2012!!
I’m super excited for you to start reaping the benefits of Juice Plus+! It takes 5 minutes to place the order if you want to do the Children’s Health Study, so let me know when it’s good for you in the new year :)

I love Juice Plus! My 5 year old has been eating way more fruit due to the “gummies” (thats what we call them). We are still working on the veggies though. I would love to win this giveaway to try out some new products! Monica Swanson gave me a link on her FB page…just FYI! Thanks a bunch!
Venessa Sumpter
