Stay away from GMO popsicles, make your own homemade Creamsicles!

TrimShake Creamy popsicles are a delicious and healthy way to cool off in the warm weather. Loved by adults and kids alike, these creamsicles are full of protein and add a nutritious punch to your sweet tooth. Don't worry though–nobody will ever know they are actually healthy!

Health Highlights:

It turns out, a few ingredients in these yummy creamsicles hold some health benefits that you might not know about. Here’s a look at just a few health highlights.

Coconut milk: Coconut contains the fatty acid, lauric acid. The body converts lauric acid into a compound called monolaurin, an antiviral and antibacterial. For this reason, many believe that the consumption of coconut milk can protect the body from infections and viruses.

Vanilla: A 2013 study found that vanillin (found in vanilla extract) may have cholesterol-lowering benefits.

Honey: Antioxidants called flavonoids are found in honey and can help reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease.



Ingredients:
1 14-ounce can coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
3 scoops doTERRA TrimShake (chocolate, orange cream, vanilla)
3 drops stevia

Directions:

In large bowl, combine all ingredients. Beat until smooth. Pour in popsicle molds and insert popsicle sticks in middle. Place in freezer overnight.

Other ideas: mix it up a little by adding your favorite fruit. Add any of these for your personal touch, just blend and add; be it bananas, strawberries, mixed berries, pineapple, mangos, kiwi, peaches and more!

BuGs, BuGs ThEy'Re eVeRyWhErE!!!

Pst! And guess what? TerraShield is 10% off for the whole month of June!

Tired of those pesky bugs and don't want to use products that contain deet in them? Try some homemade bug repellent!

Homemade Bug Repellent

Spray bottle
8 oz distilled water
Pinch of Epsom salts
8 drops peppermint essential oil
8 drops TerraShield essential oil

Pour the distilled water into a 2-cup measuring cup. Add a pinch of Epsom salts. Add the oils and stir. Use a funnel and pour the mixture to the spray bottle.

Before you use the bug repellent be sure to shake the bottle to make sure the oils are suspended in the water as much as possible before each use.

Spray skin and clothes generously and be sure to have the kids close their eyes while you spray their necks and arms.

Notes: The Epsom salts help suspend the oils in the water. Peppermint essential oil is just that – peppermint. TerraShield is an all-natural formula of citronella, cedarwood, and a blend of 11 other oils. A primary function of essential oils in plants is protecting against insects and other predators. Unlike other products that contain synthetic and toxic chemicals, TerraShield is a natural approach to managing exposure to biting insects. TerraShield's fresh, light citrus smell is wonderfully invigorating and can be used safely by everyone in the family. One application provides coverage that lasts up to 6 hours.

Also… if this bug repellent isn't effective, add more essential oils. Everyone’s body chemistry is different so the proportions that work for us, may not work for you.
